Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant bioactive compounds comprise valuable plant components with diverse functions, acting as the defense mechanisms of plants under stress situations. Moreover, the high added value of these bioactive compounds is based on their enormous pharmaceutical interest since some of them possess biological properties relevant for human health such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. The great biological importance of these compounds contradicts their small quantities found in plants, making their extraction a very expensive process. Moreover, many of these compounds have not been completely characterized, and achieving their high extraction yields has not been accomplished yet. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather original research papers, along with review articles, focusing on the recent advances in the field of plant bioactive compounds. This Special Issue of Plants will cover a wide variety of topics, including extraction and identification techniques, bioactivity assays, molecular approaches, and biotechnological strategies to obtain bioactive compounds from plants.
