Special Issue on Herbs & Medicinal Plants

Plants have the ability to synthesize a wide variety of chemical compounds that are used to perform important biological functions, and to defend against attack. The use of plants as medicines predates written human history. Chemical compounds in plants mediate their effect on the human body through processes identical to those already well understood for the chemical compounds in conventional drugs.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring herbs & medicinal plants. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Plant cultivation, growth and management
• Plant physiology & cell and molecular biology
• Active ingredients extract and analysis
• Biochemistry & biotechnology
• Biomedical engineering
• Fitoterapia
• Pharmacognosy
• Herbal medicine and medicinal properties
• Clinical tests

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Herbs & Medicinal Plants” should be selected during your submission.
