Like the previous nine volumes published between 1988 and 1996, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants X is unique in its approach. It comprises 22 chapters dealing with the distribution, importance, conventional propagation, micropropagation, tissue culture studies, and the in vitro production of important medicinal and pharmaceutical compounds in various species of Actinidia, Alkanna, Arnebia, Campanula, Catharanthus, Centella, Chenopodium, Cornus, Cyanara, Ephedra, Euglena, Haplophyllum, Morus, Oenothera, Otacanthus, Oxalis, Polypodium, Rosmarinus, Sesamum, Solanum, Taxus, and Tephrosia. This book is tailored to the needs of advanced students, teachers, and research scientists in the field of pharmacy, plant tissue culture, phytochemistry, biochemical engineering, and plant biotechnology in general.
