Cancer research investigates the biological mechanisms underlying uncontrolled cell growth in order to develop prevention, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies. In plant science, this field intersects through the study of bioactive plant compounds—such as alkaloids, terpenoids, and polyphenols—that exhibit antitumor properties, driving research into their biosynthesis, extraction, and pharmacological potential. Understanding how plants produce these compounds at a molecular level can inform both drug discovery pipelines and efforts to optimize medicinal plant cultivation.
