Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Essential oils are important for the plants that produce them as well as the humans that have learnt to extract and use them since the beginning of civilization. Nowadays, their constituent secondary metabolites are not only very important for the fragrance industry but also for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Essential oils have numerous uses and knowledge related to essential oils is implicated in most fields of research: biology, ecology, genetic, conservation, climatic change, medicine, etc. For this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute with papers toward updating the knowledge on this incredible topic.
