Environmental pollution and medicinal plants Environmental pollution mainly caused by anthropogenic activities can damage medicinal plants and alter their growth gas exchange parameters biochemical attributes bioactive substances antioxidant activity and gene expression. This book presents information on impacts of environmental pollution on the performance of medicinal plants at various levels including damage detection adaptation tolerance physiological and molecular responses. Discusses trends and responses of medicinal plant tolerance and adaptation to environmental pollution. Focuses on secondary metabolites phytochemicals and bioactive compounds associated with medicinal plants growing in contamination conditions Potential impacts of environmental pollution on growth and metabolism of medicinal plants Nisha Rani Madhavi Joshi Anand Sagar Hardeep Rai Sharma Growth and development of medicinal plants and production of secondary metabolites under ozone pollution Deepti Archana (Joshi) Bachheti Piyush Bhalla Rakesh Kumar Bachheti Azamal Husen Impact of UV radiation on growth and pharmaceutical properties of medicinal plants Deepti Archana (Joshi) Bachheti Kiran Chauhan Rakesh Kumar Bachheti Azamal Husen Impact of sulfur dioxide deposition on medicinal plants growth and production of active constituents Shakeelur Rahman Azamal Husen Effect of elevated CO2 conditions on medicinal plants : a relatively unexplored aspect Anuj Choudhary Antul Kumar Harmanjot Kaur Mandeep Singh Gurparsad Singh Suri Gurleen Kaur and Sahil Mehta Water pollution and medicinal plants : insights into the impact and adaptation responses Antul Kumar Anuj Choudhary Harmanjot Kaur Ritesh Kumar Radhika Sharma Himani Gautam and Sahil Mehta Impact of industrial wastewater on medicinal plant growth Shipra Jha Paras Porwal Heavy metal pollution and medicinal plants : an overview Allah Ditta Naseer Ullah Xiaomin Li Ghulam Sarwar Soomro Muhammad Imtiaz Sajid Mehmood Amin Ullah Jan Muhammad Shahid Rizwan Muhammad Rizwan Iftikhar Ahmad Environmental pollution influences the secondary metabolite production in medicinal plants Swati T.
