This book provides a comprehensive introduction and review of state-of-the-art of biotechnological tools in this field of research at global level. The methodologies are highlighted by real data examples at both in vitro and in vivo level studies.
Thousands of secondary metabolites are produced by plants to withstand unfavourable environmental conditions and are important molecules for nutraceutical, agro, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, etc. Harvesting of plants for the extraction of these important metabolites can threaten the plant germplasm, and various medicinally important plants are at the verge of extinction. Based on need, various methods and strategies were developed and followed by researchers from time to time to save the plant germplasm and produce important secondary metabolites efficiently to meet their growing demands.

Biotechnological Approaches to Enhance Plant Secondary Metabolites: Recent Trends and Future Prospects provides a comprehensive introduction and review of state-of-the-art biotechnological tools in this field of research at global level. The methodologies are highlighted by real data examples in both in vitro and in vivo level studies.

The book:

• Highlights and provides overviews of the synthesis, classification, biological function and medicinal applications of the recent advancements for the enhanced production of novel secondary metabolites in plants

• Provides an overview of the role of induced mutation, salinity stress and brassinosteroids impact to increase the secondary metabolic contents in plants and suggests an increase in enzymatic activity in plants could be due to various point mutations, which in turn could play a role at transcriptome levels

• Discusses the significant role of endophytes to enhance the contents of plant secondary metabolites

• Alternatively, suggests the urgent need to set up the standard operating procedures using hydroponics system of cultivation for significant enhancement of secondary metabolite contents

• Enlists various in vitro techniques to enhance plant secondary metabolites contents using plant tissue culture approaches

• Provides a systematic overview of state-of-the-art biotechnological tools CRISPER Cas9 and RNAi to enhance the plant secondary metabolite contents

• Recommends CRISPER Cas9 technology over RNAi, ZFNs and TALENs because of its relatively simple and high precision method with an easily programmable tool

This serves as a reference book for the researchers working in the field of plant secondary metabolites and pharmaceutical industries at global level.

Dr. Mohd. Shahnawaz is currently working as a Lecturer at the Department of Botany, Govt. Degree College Paloura, Mishriwala, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on an academic arrangement basis. He has completed his post-doctoral research (funded by DST-SERB, Govt. of India) from the Plant Biotechnology Division, CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, Jammu & Kashmir, India. He worked to enhance the contents of secondary metabolites in Coleus forskohli using in vitro salinity stress. Previously, he has worked as a Lecturer in Botany at the Department of Botany, Govt. Degree College Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, India (2016-2017) on an academic arrangement basis. He has earned his M. Phil. and Ph. D. in Botany from the Department of Botany, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Maharashtra, India under the guidance of Prof. A. B. Nadaf and Prof. A. B. Ade in 2010 and 2016. He is the recipient of various fellowships awarded by the Savitribai Phule Pune University, University Grants Commission (UGC), and Department of Science and Technology (DST)-Science Engineering and Research Board (SERB), India. His research interests are focused on ecology, microbiology, bioremediation, and plant biotechnology. He has served as a referee and editorial board member of various journals of International repute. In 2019, he was awarded the Young Scientist Award by VDGOOD Professional Associations, Vishakhapatnam, India. Till now, he has published more than 20 research articles in peer-reviewed international journals and authored 6 books. Previously he had served as an Academic Editor of the Asian Journal of Biology (SCIENCE DOMAIN international).
