Bioactive compounds produced by natural sources, such as plants,
microbes, endophytic fungi, etc., can potentially be applied in
various fields, including agriculture, biotechnology and
biomedicine. Several bioactive compounds have proved to be
invaluable in mediating plant-microbe interactions, and promoting
plant growth and development. Due to their numerous
health-promoting properties, these compounds have been widely used
as a source of medication since ancient times. However, there is an
unprecedented need to meet the growing demand for natural bioactive
compounds in the flavor and fragrance, food, and pharmaceutical
industries. Moreover, discovering new lead molecules from natural
sources is essential to overcoming the rising number of new
diseases. In this regard, natural bioactive compounds hold
tremendous potential for new drug discovery. Therefore, this field
of research has become a vital area for researchers interested in
understanding the chemistry, biosynthetic mechanisms, and
pharmacological activities of these bioactive metabolites. This
book describes the basics of bioactive plant compounds, their
chemical properties, and their pharmacological biotechnological
properties with regard to various human diseases and applications
in the drug, cosmetics and herbal industries. It offers a valuable
asset for all students, educators, researchers, and healthcare
experts involved in agronomy, ecology, crop science, molecular
biology, stress physiology, and natural products.
