Antidiabetic Medicinal Plants: Applications and Opportunities presents new developments that are impacting the use of plants to address diabetic conditions. Presenting multiple perspectives on these plants, their identification, cultivation and application, this book presents the state-of-the-art with an eye toward the future. Presented in five parts, the book first provides an overview of plants with antidiabetic properties, then moves to the agricultural practices for the cultivation and production of those plants. Part Three focuses on the chemical composition and phytochemicals of the plants before then moving into a study of the physiological, biotechnological, and molecular approaches to optimizing these plants.

The book concludes with insights into current and potential future medical and clinical applications, making it ideal for those seeking to understand the biology and chemistry of plants with anti-diabetic properties and their effective development and application.
