Plant pharmacology is the study of bioactive compounds produced by plants and their effects on biological systems, including how plants synthesize, store, and deploy these molecules for defense, attraction, or signaling. Understanding plant pharmacology is essential for plant science because it reveals the chemical strategies plants use to interact with their environment, pathogens, and other organisms. This field also bridges botany and medicine, enabling researchers to identify and harness plant-derived compounds for therapeutic and agricultural applications.
