Abstract

The investigation of phytochemical properties in medicinal plants is pivotal for the identification and isolation of potential drug candidates and bioactive compounds from various plant tissues. These properties are integral in elucidating the distinctive biological activities associated with specific plant species. Typically, key plant parts such as leaves, roots, stems, bark, and fruits are extensively analyzed to uncover their phytochemical profiles and therapeutic potential.Mutagenesis entails the exposure of biological materials to mutagens—physical or chemical agents that elevate the mutation rate beyond natural, spontaneous levels. Plant breeding programs to artificially induce genetic variation, facilitating the development of novel plant varieties with desirable traits such as higher yields, early maturation, reduced height, and improved resistance to diseases by producing secondary metabolites.
