  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Liquorice

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Plant Science ((BRIEFSPLANT))

Abstract

In China, liquorice is regarded as a superior balancing or harmonizing agent. It finds its way in several herbal supplements, it is used as an important food additive and in making candy as well as other confectionary stuff. The widespread use of this botanical supplement has thus lead to the large-scale farming of this crop. Therefore, strategies to increase the supply of liquorice by increasing either cultivation or plant biomass are highly desirable.
