Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative approaches relating to natural metabolites, with a special focus on their identification methods, correlated with their biological activities. The last couple of years have presented an important challenge that researchers worldwide faced in their attempt to advance novel discoveries in the area of natural metabolite identification. The growing interest in research in the field of plant metabolites is strongly sustained by the continuously increasing demand in the phytopharmaceutical market. At the same time, metabolomics has proven to be an indispensable tool, at the crossroads of cellular biochemistry with phytochemistry and pharmacology. In this context, the present Special Issue aims to provide the opportunity for exchanging ideas, subjects and, most importantly, discoveries in the field of plant science. We strongly hope that this collection will represent an excellent chance for researchers worldwide to offer novel approaches to the identification of plant metabolites via different methods, along with their corresponding biological activities.
