Medicinal and aromatic plants are valuable sources of bioactive compounds used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and traditional medicine. Research in this field focuses on the cultivation, conservation, phytochemistry, biotechnology, and commercial utilization of medicinal plant species to promote healthcare and sustainable economic development.
Recent advances in plant biotechnology, metabolite profiling, quality assessment, and sustainable cultivation practices are enhancing the production and utilization of medicinal and aromatic plants while conserving genetic diversity.
This session will highlight emerging research in medicinal plant biology, phytochemistry, herbal medicines, essential oils, plant-derived natural products, biotechnology applications, and sustainable cultivation of medicinal and aromatic species.
