Feature Review Papers in Phytochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection of Plants (MDPI) is seeking contributions reviewing any area of research in phytochemistry that has a broad appeal and is positioned within the scope of the Journal. The contributions shall critically summarize a range of phytochemical studies and methodologies, examine previously unaddressed aspects, propose and develop new approaches, exchange perspectives, or encourage new lines of study.

Review manuscripts should comprise the front matter, literature review sections and the back matter. The template file can also be used to prepare the front and back matter of your review manuscript. It is not necessary to follow the remaining structure. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses should use the same structure as research articles and ensure they conform to the PRISMA guidelines.

The topics include but are not limited to:

• Natural products;
• Herbs;
• Medicinal plants;
• Botanicals;
• Plant biochemistry;
• Chemotaxonomy;
• Biosynthesis;
• Plant primary and secondary metabolites;
• Plant extracts;
• Plant products;
• Protein biochemistry and proteomics;
• Bioactive compounds;
• Phytoalexins and phytotoxins;
• Macromolecules;
• Plant volatiles;
• Essential oils;
• Aromatic compounds;
• Phytohormones;
• Polyphenols;
• Flavonoids;
• Alkaloids;
• Plant-derived drugs;
• Terpenoids;
• Phenylpropanoids;
• Glycosides;
• Saccharides;
• Dietary supplements;
• Quality assessment of botanical products.
