This book presents extensive and up-to-date information on the anti-proliferative properties of various plant seeds for their applicationin pharmaceutical industry and medicinal research. This information is imperative for understanding and developing high quality products from the seeds.The book provides insights about anticancer and antitumour activities present in seeds. Different chapters cover the traditional knowledge as well as recent innovations in various seeds, such as prune, pumpkin, grape fruit, sesame, sunflower, bitter gourd, papaya, mango, apple, black plum, cumin, water melon, musk melon, cotton, carambola, pear, cardamon, moringa, wallich, Chinese cabbage, pistachio, etc. and their bioactivities for the applications in cancer and malignancy proliferation. The book introduces the readers to seed as a bioactive compound, and delineates the various health effects. It further explains the relation between the different metabolites and their effect on cell proliferation. Finally the book goes on to explain different seeds and their specific anti-cancer properties.

 This book is useful for students and researchers of pharmacology, botany and cancer research. It also caters to industry experts in pharmaceutical sciences.
