Crocus sativus L. (family-Iridaceae) or Saffron is often called âRed Gold or Gold Condimentâ as it is flavourful, aromatic and it is very expensive. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of Saffron Cultivation and Ecology, Genetics and Cytogenetics, Role of Saffron Bioactive compounds in Nutrition and Medicine, Economic Importance, Beneficial Effects, Applications, Safety Evaluation and Limitations of Saffron. Further, Transcriptomics, Post transcriptomics, Metabolomics, Computational Biology, Molecular Markers, Genome Editing, Microbiome and Endophytic interactions, Micropropagation and Phytochemistry and uses of Saffron as a Medicinal and Aromatic plant are discussed. Genomics and Transcriptomics provide deeper insights into the genes responsible for the production of saffron metabolites. Further, the integra tome omics frameworks give an insight into the systemic and comprehensive saffron biology and future genetic progress by tools of genome editing, epigenetics, breeding and micro-propagation.

The area of saffron biology is an important research area and, this volume will provide readers with comprehensive and updated. It will be most recent updated compilation on saffron biology and biotechnology. It will appeal to saffron farmers, the food and pharmaceutical industries, researchers, scholars, and anyone interested in the science of saffron.
