Increasing interest in plant-based medicinal resources has led to additional discoveries of many novel compounds, in various angiosperm and gymnosperm species, and investigations on their chemotaxonomy, molecular phylogeny and pharmacology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters in this book explore the interrelationship within traditional Chinese medicinal plant groups and between Chinese species and species outside of China. Chapters also discuss the incongruence between chemotaxonomy and molecular phylogeny, concluding with chapters on systems biology and “-omics” technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), and how they will play an increasingly important role in future pharmaceutical research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews best practice and essential developments in medicinal plant chemistry and biology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the principles and applications of various techniques used to discover medicinal compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the analysis and classification of novel plant-based medicinal compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes case studies on pharmaphylogeny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompares and integrates traditional knowledge and current perception of worldwide medicinal plants \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153876369648,"sku":"9780081001035","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780081001035_p0.jpg?v=1763638925","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780081001035","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
