Plants and their Interaction to Environmental Pollution: Damage Detection, Adaptation, Tolerance, Physiological and Molecular Responses

Plants and their Interaction to Environmental Pollution:  Damage Detection, Adaptation, Tolerance, Physiological and Molecular Responses presents novel strategies that optimize the production of medicinal plants in the vicinity of contaminated sites and those impacted by environmental pollution. The book discusses the latest trends and response of medicinal plants tolerance and adaptation to environmental pollution and presents opportunities and future challenges in medicinal plants omics studies. As exposure to environmental pollution can induce acute or chronic injury based on the pollutant concentration, exposure duration, season and species, this book is an ideal resource. Medicinal plants and their parts contain chemically active constituents and create a physiological response when used in the treatment of various ailments. Environmental pollution is one of the most serious global challenges, and in the case of medicinal plants can result in toxic impurities accumulating and affecting their medicinal properties and the people who use them. Provides a comprehensive overview on medicinal plants and their interaction with environmental pollution in terms of damage detection, repair, acclimation, tolerance, adaptation, physiological and molecular responses Offers an examination of secondary metabolites, phytochemicals and/or bioactive compounds (used for herbal drug preparation) associated with medicinal plants growing in the vicinity of contamination and pollution Explores future opportunities and challenges in medicinal plant omics studies INDICE: 1.
