Essential Oil Bearing Plants: Agro-techniques, Phytochemicals, and Healthcare Applications provides a unique, comprehensive view of the plants which produce these valuable products, exploring optimal plant production. Environmental factors such as genetic factors, geographical origins, cultivation locations, environmental conditions, and nutritional status influence their secondary components. Moreover, water variability, temperature, salt, and metal stresses significantly impact the growth, yield, and EO production of these plants by adjustment of anatomical, morphological, and biochemical development. This compilation increases the awareness of the essential oil plant species, their conservation, cultivation, and sustainable utilization. This deeper understanding of current science will aid in the efficient commercialization of products based on these plants, and will help identify knowledge gaps for future research.

Biografisk notat

M. Naeem is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany at Aligarh Muslim University, India. His research focuses on escalating the production of medicinal plants and their active principles using potent PGRs under normal and stressful environmental conditions. His research also focuses on abiotic stress tolerance in medicinal plants. Dr. Naeem has published over 100 research papers in reputable international journals. He has also authored 12 books and co-authored several book chapters published by international publishers. Based on his research contributions, Dr. Naeem has received multiple awards and recognitions. Dr. M. Masroor A. Khan is a professor in the Department of Botany, AMU, Aligarh, India. After completing the PhD from AMU, he joined the Ohio State University, USA as Post-doctoral Fellow. After returning from USA, he worked as Pool Scientist (CSIR) and, later, as a Research Associate (CSIR and UGC). Thereafter, he was appointed as Assistant Professor in AMU. Prof. Khan has published eight books and about 150 research papers in internationally recognized journals. Prof. Khan contributed to the establishment of Radiation-Processed Polysaccharides (RPPs) as plant growth promoters. His research-collaboration with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai resulted in the development of specific agro-formulation, which would help the farmers to increase the productivity and active constituents of MAPs. He has published his valuable research regarding the effects of RPPs on MAPs in high impact factor journals such as Carbohydrate Polymers, Industrial Crops and Products, etc.
