Reviews
Three stars. “A wealth of information including the methodology of how plants work to treat diabetes. . The tables are well organized for quick reference and clearly list the mechanisms of action of plants, including their scientific and common names . . . Well-done and it is organized in a way that will enable a variety of practitioners to utilize the material. The background and use of many contributors is exceptional, and the research and dedication are apparent in this publication.”
—Antidiabetic Potential of Plants in the Era of Omics

The book provides an informative overview of diabetes mellitus in conjunction with current plant-based treatments for this disease and available methods for studying the antidiabetic activities of scientifically developed plant products, mechanisms of action, their therapeutic superiority, and current genome editing research perspectives and biotechnological approaches.

The book begins with an introduction to diabetes, giving an overview of the history, diagnosis, classification, pathophysiology, and risk factors. It goes on to review traditional uses of plants for diabetes along with some ethnobotanical information as well. The results of scientific studies on the various modes of action of antidiabetic plants are discussed, such as the molecular aspects active plant-based antidiabetic drug molecules.

A section featuring recent biotechnological advancements of antidiabetic plants and plant-based antidiabetic drugs covers advances in molecular breeding and application of molecular markers, biotechnologically engineered transgenic medicinal plants, and advances in genomic editing tools and techniques.

This volume will be helpful for researchers, medical practitioners, academicians, students in the study of plant-based treatments for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
