Description
Since prehistoric times, medicinal plants have been used in traditional medical practices
for curing diseases and benefiting human health. A huge array of phytochemicals have been
identified in medicinal plants, including carotenoids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and lignans, which
have a wide range of biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial effect, anticancer,
anti-inflammatory, neuroprotection, and so on. In general, naturally occurring compounds possess
complicate bioactive effects and their efficacy is difficult clarify. Therefore, there is a demand for
comprehensive approaches to the synthesis and biological function of phytochemicals. In the past
decade, multi-omics has been an emerging field as a powerful tool to gain deep insights into complex
biological systems. This book originated from the Special Issue entitled Phytochemical Omics
in Medicinal Plants and it aims to integrate recent innovative approaches using high-throughput
technologies (omics), such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, as well
as bioinformatics and other related topics, including biotechnology attempts, to make significant
progress in understanding the relationship between phytochemicals and human health. As the editor
of this book, I greatly appreciate the invaluable contribution of all authors and reviewers as well as
the efforts of Editors in Biomolecules: Natural and Bio-inspired Molecules.
