Special Issue on Research on Phytochemistry
Phytochemistry is the study of phytochemicals,
which are chemicals derived from plants. Those studying phytochemistry strive
to describe the structures of the large number of secondary metabolic compounds
found in plants, the functions of these compounds in human and plant biology,
and the biosynthesis of these compounds. Plants synthesize phytochemicals for
many reasons, including to protect themselves against insect attacks and plant
diseases. Phytochemistry can be considered sub-fields of botany or chemistry.
Activities can be led in botanical gardens or in the wild with the aid of
ethanobotany. The applications of the discipline can be for pharmacognosy or
the discovery of new drugs, or as an aid for plant physiology studies. The
goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and
academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new
issues and developments in this area of research on phytochemistry.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles that explore research on phytochemistry. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
-
