Abstract
Mass screening of plants for chemical compound has produced a vast library of chemical compounds from which scientists hope to find new remedies to slow the ageing process and health decline and to treat diseases. This chapter provides an outline of the areas of pharmaceutical interest and the processes by which compounds are discovered and evaluated. It also discusses methods for medicinal crop protection and genetic manipulation for better production of phytochemicals.
