Sero-Taxonomical Classification

• Sero-Taxonomical Classification: Identifies plant species using antigen–antibody reactions for precise taxonomic grouping.
• Sero-Taxonomical Classification: Combines serology with taxonomy to reveal evolutionary relationships among plants.
• This method uses serological (antibody-antigen) reactions to classify drugs.
• It is a modern approach used mainly in biotechnology, genetic research, and plant authentication.

How It Works?

• Uses serological techniques (antigen-antibody reactions) to detect similarities between plant species.
• Helps in plant authentication by detecting specific proteins or enzymes.
• Useful in biotechnology for producing recombinant drugs and vaccines.

Examples:

• Plant proteins and enzymes are studied to determine relationships between medicinal plants.
• Used in vaccine production (e.g., plant-based vaccines).

Advantages:

• Helps in scientific plant classification based on immunological properties.
• Useful for biotechnology and genetic studies.

Disadvantages:

• Requires advanced laboratory techniques.
• Not widely used in general pharmacognosy.
