Medicinal Plants and Molecular Techniques

Medicinal plants provide a substantial source of bioactive compounds which
serve greatly in the pharmaceutical industry. Before revolutionary advancements in
medicines, traditional biotechnology approaches have been used in the breeding of
significant therapeutic plants. The challenge is to incorporate effective, efficient, and
resilient breeding techniques to enhance the production of phytochemicals by
medicinal plants. Genetics and biotechnology can aid in the rapid advancement of
therapeutic plants by assessing genetic diversity, conservation, proliferation, and
overproduction. Hence, the use of advanced technologies is crucial for selecting,
multiplying, and preserving medicinal plants.
