Plants naturally have certain phytochemicals like flavonoids, alkaloids, lipids, phenolic compounds, tannins, carotenoids. These plant phytochemicals can be analyzed by both qualitative and quantitative methods. The process involves the collection, cleaning, extraction, sonication, screening, and identification of active substances in a plant. Phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables are found to reduce the risk for cancer due to dietary fibers, polyphenol antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory effects. Several phytochemical compounds are involved in medicinal drug development. Laboratory practices Phytochemical studies Industrial applications Plant hormones Curing health issues

Plant pathology deals with the study of diseases in plants caused by pathogens like bacteria, fungi, viruses, insects, parasites. The study also involves identification of the pathogen, disease epidemiology, impact on humans and animals, disease etiology, economic impact, symptoms on plants, mechanism and interaction between the disease-causing agent and plants, producing disease-resistant traits. Spraying of pesticides, insecticides can be a tool to avoid plant diseases.

Medicinal plants are used all around the world as traditional medicine or as an alternative for allopathic medicines. Several plants produce phytochemicals and secondary metabolites with more medicinal values that can be used for pharmacological purposes. Alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols are some of the phenolic compounds produced by plants. These medicinal plants show promising solutions for various health issues like cough, fever, asthma, throat infections, stomachache, headache, indigestion, and so on.

Landscaping is preparing the land for construction by studying the terrain, topography, soil quality by accounting for the flora and fauna. The land must be reshaped and reshaping of land is called grading. Planting techniques Garden designs Improved crop varieties Flora and fauna Maintenance of land

Sustainable agriculture is a practice, where crops are produced to satisfy human food and essential needs without harming the environmental resources and interrupting natural eco-cycle, and conserving the resources to meet the demand in the future. It encourages the sufficient use of renewable sources instead of non-renewable sources, eliminates usage of fossil fuels, reduction in emission of greenhouse gas, which plays a vital role in climatic change. Some methods of sustainable agriculture are crop rotation, Agroforestry, Natural pest predators, Mixed farming, and so on. The main motive of sustainable agriculture is to meet human needs, by reducing the input of external energy, not disturbing the environmental resource, and conservation of resources for future generations. Conserve environment Global warming Desired cropping techniques Upcoming generations Renewable, Non-renewable resources

The plant needs certain chemical compounds and elements necessary for its metabolism, growth, and external supply. They obtain both macro and micronutrients from the soil for their development. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium are the three main nutrients and also need other nutrients like magnesium, copper, calcium, sulfur, and zinc in trace amounts. Plants absorb these nutrients through their roots and leaves. Lack of these nutrients may lead to the deterioration of the plantâ??s entire life cycle because each element is a part of the plantâ??s metabolism. Plant development Plant metabolism Chemical compounds Macronutrients Micronutrients

Plant Evolution involves the study of the evolution of plant species over a long period of time. Scientists look at fossils, forensic prints, physical and genetic similarities among species to study the evolutionary phenomena. Plants show several adaptations that help them to cope with their present environment. Plant evolution usually explains how the present species diversity arose over a geological period of time. It also deals with genetic changes and consequent variation that usually ends in speciation. Evolutionary studies Extinct plant species Speciation Evolutionary adaptations Plant diversity
