  • First Online:
Teucrium Species: Biology and Applications

Abstract

Increased demand for products originating from natural sources lead to novel agricultural and biotechnological techniques and create the urgent need for implementations of these techniques to appropriate response for enlarged interests. The plants from the Teucrium L. genus are well-known sources of natural products with wide areas of application, primarily due to the high content of secondary metabolites with significant biological activities. Utilization of Teucrium species in diverse areas of the industry makes them suitable candidates for various biotechnological investigations as well as further applications of obtained results. The primary objective of this chapter is to summarize the most diverse areas of application from species of the Teucrium genus, regarding various biotechnological procedures that maximize the exploitation but also provide sustainable conservation and rational utilization of biodiversity both under in vivo as well as under in vitro conditions. With the high content of valuable compounds and a multidisciplinary approach, Teucrium species are the primary target for trait manipulation and offers major opportunities for the major application of plant biotechnology.
