Quality from the field: The impact of environmental factors as quality determinants in medicinal plants

Open access
Ncube, B., Finnie, J.F., Van Staden, J.·2012·South African Journal of Botany

Abstract

Plants have been used extensively in both pharmaceutical and food industries, with consumers showing increasing interests in these products. Phytomedicines exploit a pool of biogenic resources produced by plants. However, the quality and quantity of these chemical metabolites in plants are influenced by a multitude of factors, chief among them, environmental. This review provides an overview of plant-produced chemical compounds with medicinal properties and how their production is affected by different environmental factors. An insight into how these factors can be manipulated within the plants' growing environments as a way of ensuring quality is also discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
