This Special Issue of Agriculture, "Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Agricultural Research when Considering Multifunctionality and Sustainability Criteria", aims to illustrate the role of MAPs in agriculture in low-impact farming practices, and the benefits they can generate in terms of functional products. This Special Issue covers all research aspects related to MAPs, including a number of scientific macro-areas, such as agronomy, chemistry and pharmacy, ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology, food and nutrition, and ecology. Key topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: Sustainable agricultural practices of MAPs; Breeding and germplasm preservation of MAPs; The biodiversity of MAPs; The conservation of cultivated and wild MAPs; Ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology; Phytotherapy, phytochemistry, and phytopharmacology; Essential oils and secondary metabolites; Functional foods and MAPs; MAPs and degraded and marginal land recovery; The global marketing of MAPs; The legislation of MAPs.ChemistrybicsscResearch & information: generalbicssc1,8-cineolealternative substratesaltitudeantioxidantaromatic and medicinal plantsaromatic speciesBerberisbiofunctional productsCalotropis procera leavescamphorcaper plantchronic inflammatory modelcrop diversificationcropping techniquecytokinesdowny mildewedaphic characteristicsessential oilextra-virgin olive oilFicus carica L.Freund's complete adjuvantgas-chromatography and mass spectrometry analysesgenotypic variabilitygrowinghardwood cuttingshop shootshopsHumulus lupulus L.Hypericum perforatumindomethacinindustrial cropiron chelatesirrigationisland of LinosaJapanese beetlelatitudelaurelleaf yieldlinaloollongitudemaypopmedicinal and aromatic plantsmedicinal plantmedicinal-agroforestry systemMediterranean environmentmicrobial loadmorphological and productive characteristicsn/anegative fruitsoleic acidorganic agricultureoven dryingphotosynthesisplant habituspolyphenolspowdery mildewreal time monitoringrootingsagesecondary metabolitessensorsoil enzyme activityspike lavenderSt. John's wortsustainabilitysustainable cultivationTaxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc.trellising systemChemistryResearch & information: generalLicata Marioedt1313399Maggio Antonella MariaedtLa Bella SalvatoreedtTuttolomondo TeresaedtLicata MarioothMaggio Antonella MariaothLa Bella SalvatoreothTuttolomondo TeresaothBOOK9910580210903321Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Agricultural Research When Considering Criteria of Multifunctionality and Sustainability3031383UNINA
