Secondary Metabolites and Biotherapeutics presents the latest biotechnological advancements in the production of target secondary metabolites for medicinal use, including topics such as transcriptomics, nanotechnology, gene editing tools like CRISPR/CAS, secondary metabolites source and production.? Secondary metabolites derived from plants as a response to stress have always played a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry to produce medicines. However, their limited production in plants have always raised concerns for large-scale production. With the advancement of modern biotechnology, researchers around the globe are now able to engineer plants with specific chemical compositions.
This book is a valuable resource to researchers in biotechnology, medical sciences, pharmaceutical biotechnology, pharmacology and plant biology.
