alkaloids (TA) and TA-bearing plants. The first part includes an
overview of "tropane alkaloids in context to diversity, biosynthesis and
significance. The second part covers aspects of in-vitro and allied
interventions in these alkaloids.
TAs belong to one of the world's oldest phytomedicines with their
valuable ethno-pharmacological applications. The book compiles
scientific ideas, perspectives and challenges in this area. Further, the
book attempts to investigate the loopholes in existing methodologies,
challenges and possible solutions through well thought-out scientific
discussions from various eminent research groups.
This book is of high interest to students and researchers in
biotechnology, plant biology and pharmacology. As the TAs are of high
commercial medicinal value, this book is also a relevant collection of
articles for industry experts.
