Breeding Research on Aromatic and Medicinal Plants
Haworth Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-7890-1973-8 (ISBN)
In this essential book, researchers from large and small laboratories and institutions throughout Europe and the Mediterranean region explore recent developments in the selection and breeding of aromatic and medicinal plants. They take varied approaches?from traditional breeding to the use of molecular markers?and complement them with up-to-date information on biodiversity and resource conservation.
From the editors: ?It is widely recognized that a strategy of `conservation through use,? by which plant collection via wild harvesting is replaced by controlled cultivation, is the best way forward if we are to balance human demands with the necessary conservation of the biodiversity represented by these species. That provides one major driving force for research in this field. Another concerns the very real need for improving the quality control of products on the market, both to satisfy consumer demand and to conform with the (justifiably) increasing requirements for standardization and precise identification of the composition of the plant materials being sold for human use. We hope that this volume will give readers a taste of the exciting developments in the field.?
Breeding Research on Aromatic and Medicinal Plants examines:
breeding for resistance and abiotic factors
manipulating natural product accumulation through genetic engineering
biochemical and molecular regulation of essential oil accumulation
economic and legal considerations that breeders will encounter
the ethical aspects of breeding these plants
