      abstract = {This book provides a comprehensive introduction and review  of state-of-the-art biotechnological tools in enhancement  of bioactive compounds in medicinal and aromatic plants.  Plant bioactive compounds are plant-based natural products  that display a variety of pharmacological applications.  These bioactive compounds are important as medicines,  pigments, flavorings and drugs because most of the  pharmaceutical industries are highly dependent on medicinal  plants and their extraction. The book introduces a  systematic overview of state-of-the-art biotechnological  techniques such as Omics, Crisper /Cas9 and RNAi to enhance  the plant bioactive contents as well as enlists various in  vitro techniques, hairy root culture and transgenic  technology to enhance plant bioactive contents using plant  tissue culture approaches. The book also provides an  overview of the role of induced mutation, biotic and  abiotic stress to increase the bioactive contents in plants  and discusses the significant role of endophytes to enhance  the contents of plant bioactive compound. The book also  opens discussions related to standard operating procedures  using hydroponics system of cultivation for significant  enhancement of bioactive compound(s) and much more. This  book serves as an excellent reference book for the  researchers working in the field of plant secondary  metabolites and pharmaceutical industries at global level.},
