Plant-Derived Natural Compounds in Drug Discovery: The Prism Perspective between Plant Phylogeny, Chemical Composition, and Medicinal Efficacy, Volume II | Frontiers Research Topic (frontiersin.org)

Manuscript Submission Deadline 22 May 2023

We welcome submissions of different types of manuscripts including original research papers, reviews, and methods, including but not limited to:

1. Phylogenetic relationships of medicinal plants and relevant taxonomic groups based on molecular markers and omics big data;
2. Biosynthesis pathways of phytometabolites and their regulatory mechanisms in wild or cultivated medicinal plants, their evolutionary and ecological/geographical implications;
3. Phytochemical and metabolomic analyses of medicinal plants, with plant pharmacophylogeny consequences;
4. Association between plant physiology/pathology of specialized metabolites and their bioactivity/pharmacological activity;
5. Mining local plant resources and expanding plant chemodiversity resources in the context of pharmacophylogeny/pharmacophylogenomics;
6. Utility of genomics/epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and bioinformatics in the identification/determination and analysis of medicinal plants and varieties;
7. Technical advances in all aspects of medicinal plants, e.g. predicting metabolite distribution on the phylogenetic tree, identifying low abundance phytometabolites, improving ethnobotany experiences.
