There is an increased demand for plant based compounds and biotechnological approaches have potential to meet this challenge. This book provides a comprehensive account of such approaches. This book comprises topics like secondary metabolite production in culture using different approaches such as optimization, selection, biotransformation and possible mechanism of production, genetic transformation for production and use of different types of bioreactor systems. Diverse compounds such as alkaloids, steroids, insecticides, anti-tumour agents and colours and flavours etc. are arranged in different chapters. Various techniques to study cell cultures for the production of secondary metabolites and some class room exercises are also included. The language of the book is simple and various terms have been defined for better understanding. References and further readings are included for advanced knowledge. This makes the book a valuable and necessary inclusion in all the laboratories and libraries involved in research and teaching on plant metabolism, particularly secondary metabolites. The chapters are an excellent compilation of background information for beginners and of recent information for researchers. The book will serve as a source material for students, teachers and researchers working in agriculture, botany, biotechnology, pharmacy and environmental sciences.
