Traditional uses, conservation status and biotechnological advances for a group of aromatic / medicinal native plants from America

Medicinal and aromatic plants are biologically and economically valuable species because of their intrinsic value as plants, ability to produce secondary metabolites, possible use in the pharmaceutical and food industries, germplasm availability and applications in traditional medicine. In addition,...
