"Environmental Pollution And Medicinal Plants | Life Science

Environmental Pollution and Medicinal Plants presents information on the impact of environmental pollution on the performance of medicinal plants at various levels including damage detection adaptation tolerance and physiological and molecular responses. This title draws attention not only to seeking new bioactive compounds for herbal drug preparation but also on ensuring high standards of quality through evaluation of the chemical purity of medicinal plants growing under polluted conditions. It discusses the latest trends and responses of medicinal plants indicating their tolerance and adaptation to environmental pollution. This book also focuses on secondary metabolites phytochemicals and bioactive compounds associated with medicinal plants growing in contaminated conditions. This book will be indispensable for students and professionals working in the field of environmental pollution medicinal plants and herbal medicine as well as for plant biologists economic botanists molecular biologists and biotechnologists. . KEY FEATURES Explains the global trend of environmental pollution and its impact on medicinal herbs with the help of clear text and attractive illustrations. Provides a comprehensive overview of medicinal plants and their interaction with environmental pollution in terms of damage detection repair acclimation tolerance adaptation and physiological responses. Discusses the production of secondary metabolites phytochemicals and bioactive compounds (used for herbal drug preparation) in medicinal plants growing in the vicinity of contamination and pollution load. Highlights opportunities and future challenges in omics studies on medicinal plants.|Environmental Pollution and Medicinal Plants | Life Science
