Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Phytochemicals in Medicinal Plants

Abstract

Medicinal plants (MPs) are universally worth sources of herbal products, and they are vanishing at a high rate. The MP resources are under constant threat of extinction because of population growth, overexploitation, environmental destruction, illegal trade, and unsound harvesting techniques. This chapter discusses about the developments, global trends, and prospects for the strategies and sustainable application of MP resources and methodologies about the conservation to supply a trusty referral for the sustainable application and MP conservation. We accented that both resource management (e.g., good sustainable use solutions and agricultural practices) and conservation strategies (e.g., in situ and ex situ cultivation) should be sufficiently taken to calculate for the sustainable application of MP resources. We recommend that biotechnical approaches (e.g., micropropagation, tissue culture, molecular marker, and synthetic seed technology-based approaches) should be applied to ameliorate yield and shift the power of MPs.
