A Modern Book on Plant Biotechnology

Plant biotechnology is a discipline that should be well known and accepted as a sub field under the umbrella of pharmaceutical biotechnology. However, to the author’s surprise he could not identify any recent contribution dealing with medicinal plants and biotechnological techniques on a high comprehensive level that the subject would deserve today. He accepted this lack as a challenge to sort out the needs of the scientific community and to identify valuable topics that must be addressed in order to provide a narrow and well-defined picture of plant biotechnology.
