Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The natural products that make up specialized metabolites are widely distributed in the plant world. They play an important role in plant–environment interactions and have great phytochemical potential. This Special Issue focuses on the isolation and identification of plant components which are characteristic of specific plant species. Many plant taxa produce free volatile compounds, essential oils, glycosides, phenols, flavonoids, etc. The biological activity of identified compounds can be studied by observing individual components, classes of components, and/or whole isolates. The activity of extracts may include antioxidant, antiphytoviral, antibacterial, antiproliferative, or genotoxic effects, among others.
I look forward to receiving your contribution to this Special Issue on the activity of plant components.
Prof. Dr. Valerija Dunkić
Guest Editor
