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...

essential oils are volatile, natural, complex compounds formed by aromatic plants as secondary metabolites. in nature, essential oils play an important role in protecting plants in form of antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, insecticides properties and also against herbivores. they also may attract some insects to use them in dispersion of pollens and seeds, or repel undesirable others. pr...

A research association was established between Rutgers University, USA and Argentinian Universities, National University of La Rioja and National University of Córdoba, to identify aromatic and medicinal plants of potential commercial interest for future cultivation and conservation programs. This study was part of a larger project to study the uses of native aromatic plants in commercial produ...
