Drought Stress Effects on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and the Possible Stress Amelioration by Mineral Nutrition

Limited water supply is one of the major abiotic factors that adversely affects agricultural crop production worldwide. Drought stress disturbs the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense, causing the accumulation of ROS that induce oxidative stress to proteins, membrane lipids and other cellular components. Drought stress hampers photosynthes...

Botanical Aspects of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

Botany, the science of plants, is linked with medicinal and aromatic plants in many different ways. The ca. 40,000 plant species used for ethnomedicinal purposes, since the beginning of recorded history, have traditionally been collected and gathered from the wild. Botanical sciences (like plant systematics, morphology and physiology) have been assisting the study and utilization of MAPs in a m...
