Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of medicinal plants and functional foods, which are beneficial plants, in bolstering the human body's immune system. These plants play a crucial role in the production of therapeutics for various illnesses, including transmissible, non-transmissible, and metabolic diseases. Medicinal plants from different parts of the world contain various types of secondary metabolites that have the ability to directly and indirectly enhance human health. The identification, diversity, cultivation, and conservation of these rare plant resources is essential for safeguarding human life from various dangers.
This Special Issue on “Medicinal Plants and Industrial Crops: Phytochemistry and Metabolic Diseases II” will focus on cutting-edge research related to medicinal plants, as well as the cultivation and processing of herbal drugs, for example, in conjunction with geographical information system technology. Articles allied to the identification and cultivation of various medicinal plants, extraction techniques for metabolites, and qualitative and quantitative techniques for determining their composition and pharmacological profile are invited from the researchers in different fields from all over the world. Original experimental papers, theoretical uses of rare plant resources, as well as reviews, communications, reports, and short notes on medicinal plant-based research topics are invited to contribute to this Special Issue.
