For achieving such objectives the need for scientific data on basic, application-oriented basic and applied aspect of (wild) medicinal plants for their domestication and cultivation has been experienced by people in all walks of life. This is due to the relevance of such information for plant biodiversity, conservation, sustainable development and environmental protection. Hence,recent and updated information on various aspects of applied plant and seed biology under different abiotic stresses have been included in this book.
The book embodies comprehensive scientific knowledge of global distribution, phenology, morphology,germination behaviour under normal and abiotic stresses, seedling growth, crop establishment, dormancy, vegetative growth,reproductive biology, agronomic reactions to soil types, economic, pharmaceutical and the yields under different ecological niches and marketingscenario and export of medicinal plants.
This book will, therefore, certainly serve students, teachers, scientists and exporters belonging to several disciplines including Botany, Agricultural Botany, Medical Botany, Environmental Sciences, Plant Physiology, Seed Sciences and Technology, Horticulture, Agronomy and Agricultural Sciences in general.
