Summary: "This new volume is a comprehensive desktop reference book on the Boswellia species, specifically gum olibanum and frankincense. It introduces the significance of the species and covers the botany, phytochemistry, propagation, extraction, and pharmacological uses of Boswellia species. It also discusses the species' genetic diversity using molecular markers, in vitro propagation and biotechnological aspects of Boswellia species, the trade and commerce of frankincense, and as well as its threats and conservation. With chapters written by knowledgeable researchers in this area, this volume provides the information needed for conservationists, botanists, foresters, and tribal groups to develop scientific methods for extraction and propagation of this species."--
