Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Plants titled “Pharmacological Activity of Medicinal and Functional Plants” will focus on original research papers and comprehensive reviews. The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, recent advances in:
Medicinal and functional plants containing bioactive molecules utilized for the benefit of human and animal health.
Combinations of herbs and probiotics as an alternative growth promoter in economic animal production and antimicrobial resistance control.
Phytogenics with antimicrobial activities as alternatives to conventional antibiotics to decrease risks of drug resistance and environmental contamination. Natural growth promoters as the optimal choice to improve global food safety risk and feed supplement.
Functional mechanism(s) or synthetic pathway(s) of active phytocompound(s) in medicinal plants.
Biomaterials and delivery strategies of phytochemical compounds used to prevent and treat human and animal diseases.
Application of optical and electrochemical biosensing or artificial intelligence techniques utilized for the detection of phytochemicals levels and expression of medical function.
Stable production systems, e.g., good agricultural and collection practice (GACP). Introductions or reviews on medicinal and functional plants as nutrigenomic or phytogenic feed additives with confirmed active phytocompound(s) or a unique fingerprint.
We hope you find this topic of interest. As Guest Editors, we cordially invite you to submit a manuscript for consideration and possible publication in a Special Issue on “Pharmacological Activity of Medicinal and Functional Plants” to be published in the Plants (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/plants, EISSN: 2223-7747, IF 4.658). Original research articles, reviews, and methodologies are welcome contributions.
