This contributed volume brings out a comprehensive collection of changes from cellular to molecular levels in medicinal plants under extreme environments. The focus of this book is to address the molecular changes in medicinal plants under different abiotic stresses. Medicinal plants are regarded as rich resources of components that can be used for drug development in the pharmaceutical industry. A few medicinal plants are considered vital sources of nutrients and solicited for their therapeutic properties. Therefore, it is essential to understand medicinal plants' interaction under abiotic stresses as compounds obtained from these plants play an important role in human health. This book is of interest to students, teachers, researchers, scientists, medicinal plant experts, and policymakers. Also, the book provides study material for undergraduate and graduate students of botany, environmental sciences, medicinal and aromatic plants, biochemistry, and biotechnology. National and international scientists working in the area of medicinal plants, drug development, and policymakers will also find this a useful read

Dr. Divya Singh is presently working as Scientist-B in Department of Mulberry Physiology, CSRTI, Mysore, India. Her research specialization is primarily in genetics, proteomics, metabolomics, toxicology, bioinformatics, and molecular biological evaluation in various plant models to elucidate the physiological changes under stress condition. In her 11 years of research experiences, she has published 9-peer reviewed publications, two books (1 edited and 1 authored) including 6 book chapters and several meeting presentations at local and international scientific meetings.
Dr. Amit Kumar Mishra is currently working as assistant professor in Department of Botany at Mizoram University, Aizawl, India. He has 12 years of research experience in physiological and molecular mechanisms of plant responses to high carbon dioxide levels, tropospheric ozone, drought, heat, nitrogen limitation, ultraviolet-B radiation, and other abiotic stresses. He has published 13 research articles in reputed journals and 1 edited-book including 3 chapters during his research work. He has also visited Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel and Texas A&M University, United States of America.
Dr. Akhileshwar Kumar Srivastava works as a Research Associate (ICMR) in CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore, India. In his 11 years of research, he has published more than 17 research articles in international journals of repute, 2 Books (Elsevier publication) including 9 book chapters. His research specialization is primarily in the area of pharmacognosy with genetics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology associated targeting virulent factors of diseases.
