Biotechnology for Medicinal Plants: Micropropagation and Improvement
from Pharmacy Made Simple · host Pharmacy Made Simple
A comprehensive overview of using biotechnological tools for the propagation and enhancement of medicinal plants. Topics discussed include micropropagation techniques for various species like Cannabis sativa and Scutellaria, methods for downstream processing of plant cell and tissue cultures, and the application of metabolic engineering to alter or boost the production of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids and flavonoids. Furthermore, the text explores advanced genomic and analytical techniques like transcriptomics and metabolomics for both identifying key biosynthetic genes and ensuring the genetic fidelity and chemical stability of cloned plants. Finally, it also references databases like KNApSAcK for analyzing the global usage and metabolite content of traditional medicines like Kampo and Jamu.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
