Harness plant metabolites to build climate-resilient agricultural systems Climate stress threatens crop productivity through drought, heat, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss. Phytochemistry and Climate-Resilient Agriculture examines how plant-derived metabolites can enhance crop resilience, restore soil health, and support sustainable farming under these pressures. Edited by a team of researchers spanning agronomy, molecular biology, and plant stress physiology, this volume provides an interdisciplinary framework for integrating phytochemical research into climate-smart practice. Coverage extends from foundational plant metabolite responses under abiotic stress to applied strategies including phytoremediation of degraded soils, phytochemical-based carbon sequestration, and biological pest management. The text addresses agroforestry systems, marine and algal sources, AI-driven predictive modeling, and genomic engineering for resilient crop varieties. Case studies demonstrate how phytochemicals reduce synthetic input reliance and improve water use efficiency. The book also covers: Economic viability assessments and global market potential analyses for scaling phytochemical innovations from laboratory research to commercial agricultural practiceStrategies for supporting pollinator health and biodiversity conservation through targeted application of plant-derived secondary metabolites in farming systemsIntegration of computational modeling tools and bioengineering approaches for predicting and optimizing phytochemical performance under variable climate scenariosPolicy pathways and regulatory frameworks that facilitate adoption of phytochemistry-based sustainable agriculture practices across different governance contexts worldwideWater conservation techniques leveraging phytochemical properties to enhance plant water retention and drought tolerance in water-scarce agricultural regionsDesigned for agricultural scientists, agronomists, and researchers working on sustainable farming and crop resilience, this volume also serves policymakers developing climate adaptation strategies and food security organizations advancing nutrition and sustainability initiatives. It provides an application-focused guide to integrating plant metabolite research into resilient agricultural practice.

This book explores the transformative convergence of AI and phytochemistry. The book shows how AI is revolutionizing the discovery, design, and development of plant-based bioactive compounds by providing tools for structure identification, pharmacological prediction, compound optimization, and synthesis planning. Through machine learning, data analytics, and computational modeling, it demonstrates how AI accelerates and advances traditional phytochemical research.Phytochemistry—the study of natural plant compounds—has long been foundational to drug discovery. Historically reliant on labor-intensive experiments, the field now faces a paradigm shift. AI offers scalable, data-driven methods that boost speed and accuracy, bridging classical phytochemistry with modern pharmaceutical innovation.The book begins with foundational chapters on traditional phytochemistry and AI integration, including data sourcing and supply chain challenges. It then covers AI-assisted techniques for synthesis, extraction, isolation, and structural elucidation of bioactives. Later sections focus on simulation and optimization of drug candidates—such as property prediction, docking, virtual screening, and optimization algorithms. The final chapters explore pharmacological applications, collaborative models, ethical and legal considerations, and AI’s global impact in democratizing drug discovery.This book is ideal for researchers, academicians, and professionals in pharmaceutical sciences, biotechnology, and phytochemistry. It also serves students, trainees, and policymakers interested in the intersection of AI and natural product-based drug discovery.

This contributed volume on phytochemistry and pharmacology of the genus Bidens covers the chemical constituents and biological activities of this plant group in detail. Bidens is an important genus of the Asteraceae family, which is one of the dominant plant families globally, contributing medicinal species. It is a diverse genus of weedy herbs with roughly 230 species. Members of this genus have been listed in Oriental Materia Medica as remedies for rheumatoid arthritis, sprains, insect and scorpion stings, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, acute nephritis, stomachaches, and sore throats. Despite its medicinal properties, the chemistry and pharmacology of this genus are disorganized. The aim of this book is to present comprehensive information on the chemical constituents, nutraceutical and ethnomedical uses, as well as the biological and pharmacological effects and toxicity of this plant, based on 218 literary sources reported over 40 years. Major chemical constituents (including 301 compounds) belonging to polyacetylenes, polyacetylene glycosides, flavonoids, flavone glycosides, aurones, chalcones, okanin glycosides, phenolic acids, terpenes, pheophytins, fatty acids, and phytosterols have been identified or isolated from different parts of this plant. Many of them are considered bioactive compounds potentially responsible for pharmacological actions. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers, including researchers, botanists, and students studying the phytochemistry and pharmacology of medicinal plants. It may also interest pharmaceutical companies seeking to develop new drugs based on the chemical constituents of Bidens.
