It reviews and summarizes selected important case   studies in genetic methods applied to enhance the production of a given   metabolite or a group of related or derived compounds. Readers will find reference information on a multitude of techniques and methods,   including traditional breeding and screening; over-expression of genes   encoding key enzymes; functional genomics approaches; metabolic engineering   of the relevant biosynthetic pathways; indirect genetic approaches to improve   metabolite production, including Agrobacterium mediated transformations. Furthermore,   combinatorial biochemistry approaches to engineer secondary metabolic   pathways are summarized, which can offer access to new structures or to the design   of novel compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eSince many commercially valuablesubstances are still   extracted from plants, being largely inaccessible to efficient modern   laboratory synthesis methods, this book provides a valuable resource of   information for biotechnological approaches that can help to find alternative   and more efficient methods for the production of natural secondary   metabolites. Thus adjusted production methods, with the help of tailored   plant systems, can potentially help to release the stress on plants, which   are currently suffering from extensive human harvesting, and to conserve   global biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eReaders will find comprehensive reference information   on plant genetic manipulation toward more efficient synthesis, accumulation   and production of target secondary metabolites.
