This new volume is a comprehensive desktop reference book specifically gum olibanum - frankincense. It introduces the significance of the species and covers the botany, phytochemistry, propagation, extraction, and pharmacological uses. 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.
