Using Micropropagation to Develop Medicinal Plants into Crops

Automatic Micropropagation of Plants

Micropropagation is a sophisticated technique for the rapid multiplication of plants. It has a great commercial potential due to the speed of propagation, the high plant quality, and the ability to produce disease-free plants. However, micropropagation is usually done by hand which makes the process cost-intensive and tedious for the workers especially because it requires a sterile work-place. ...

Micropropagation of Bulbous Crops: Technology and Present State

Conventional propagation of bulbous crops must be supplemented with micropropagation to satisfy the requirements of present-day horticulture with respect to fast production of disease-free, superior starting material. Adequate micropropagation protocols for bulbous crops are therefore a sine qua non. The successive steps in micropropagation of bulbous crops are reviewed: initiation, multiplicat...

this comparison is not made here but a comparative study of the two drugs would make a most interesting investigation. One is also reminded of Rauwolfia from Ancient India which turned out to have a hypotensive action. The author has written a very interesting and useful book, but it is a pity that the documentation is rather limited. There has of late been a resurgence of interest in "natural"...
