Human health research in plant science explores how compounds produced by plants — such as antioxidants, phytochemicals, and secondary metabolites — influence disease prevention, nutrition, and overall well-being. Understanding the biosynthesis and regulation of these bioactive molecules in plants is critical for developing functional foods, nutraceuticals, and plant-derived medicines that address global health challenges.
