Preface
This volume on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants XII is the 51st volume in the
series, Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry (BAF), which was founded by
Professor Bajaj in 1986. At the onset, however, it is necessary to describe why
and how the editing of this series has been transferred to me. To my surprise,
I was informed of the decease of Professor Bajaj in the early months of 2000.
Since his toils and efforts to continue this series were tremendous, we have to
be thankful to him for his energy with a kind of cultural legacy of his contri
butions to plant biotechnology. An even more surprising matter was an inquiry
by Dr. Dieter Czeschlik, the executive director for books and journals at
Springer Verlag, whether I could take charge of the succeeding series of BAF.
Initially, I was very hesitant; however, discussions with some of my colleagues
and communication with the staff of Springer Verlag gradually convinced me
to accept this honorable proposal. After my acceptance as Series Editor, the
submitted manuscripts for Volume 51 were sent to me, however, there were just
ten of them. Soon I asked other possible contributors working in this field, who
had exchanged letters with Professor Bajaj, to write respective chapters. Inde
pendently, I looked for other possible contributors as well. In the meantime,
Professor Ebizuka of the University of Tokyo, who, as a professor for pharma
ceutical chemistry, is more knowledgeable on this topic, very kindly joined me
in editing this volume. Without his help, I would not have been able to final
ize the editing of this volume. Although he has been, and is extremely busy, he
helped me to proceed with the editorial work. Thus, I could finally send the
completed manuscripts for this series to the publisher.
In fact, during this work, I became aware that the previous books in this
series are considered to be resource books of "Medicinal and Aromatic Plants"
throughout the world, and many colleagues of former contributors and people
working in the pharmaceutical industries consistently commented on this fact.
However, many people simultaneously felt the necessity of a change in per
spective and offered some constructive comments to this series. Even in some
of the contributions to this volume, hints of changes may be noted. This was
due mainly to the determination of the whole genomic sequence of Arbidop
sis thaliana towards the end of 2000 and we are also aware that the sequence
of rice genomes will also be determined by the end of 2004. Such progress,
together with established transformation techniques, should allow the
manipulation of pharmaceutical plants with specific genes, which will certainly
change the features of medicinal and aromatic plants greatly. Thus, the con-
VIII Preface
tributions in the Series, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants XII, will focus on these
points.
To close these introductory remarks, I am very pleased to inform readers
that the forthcoming volumes of the BAF Series will be edited by an interna
tional editorial team, in which I remain the Series Editor, while two co-editors,
Professor Horst L6rz of Hamburg University, Germany, and Professor Jack
Widholm of the University of Illinois, USA, join me. The effects of this change
to an international editorial team will appear as of 2001 and intensive collabo
ration among them will make the new features of the BAF Series quite useful.
