      abstract = {Plants have been a source of medicines and have played  crucial role for human health. Despite tremendous advances  in the field of synthetic drugs and antibiotics, plants  continue to play a vital role in modern as well as  traditional medicine across the globe. In even today,  one-third of the world's population depends on traditional  medicine because of its safety features and ability to  effectively cure diseases. This book presents a  comprehensive guide to medicinal plants, their utility,  diversity and conversation, as well as biotechnology. It is  divided into four main sections, covering all aspects of  research in medicinal plants: biodiversity and  conservation; ethnobotany and ethnomedicine; bioactive  compounds from plants and microbes; and biotechnology. All  sections cover the latest advances. The book offers a  valuable asset for researchers and graduate students of  biotechnology, botany, microbiology and the pharmaceutical  sciences. It is an equally important resource for doctors  (especially those engaged in Ayurveda and allopathy); the  pharmaceutical industry (for drug design and synthesis);  and the agricultural sciences. .},
