Phytochemistry

As per available reports about 148 journals, 172 Conferences, 13 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to phytochemistry and about 301,000 articles are being published on the current trends in proteomics. As reported in Wikipedia Phytochemistry is in the strict sense of the word the study of phytochemicals. These are chemicals derived from plants. In a narrower sense the terms are often used to describe the large number of secondary metabolic compounds found in plants. Many of these are known to provide protection against insect attacks and plant diseases. They also exhibit a number of protective functions for human consumers. Phytochemistry can be considered sub-fields of Botany or Chemistry. Activities can be led in botanical gardens or in the wild with the aid of Ethno botany. The applications of the discipline can be for Pharmacognosy, or the discovery of new drugs, or as an aid for plant physiology studies.

The Journal of Plant Biochemistry & Physiology is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals. Journal of Plant Biochemistry & Physiology deals with the cellular and molecular biology and interaction between biomolecules along with the study of photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions which are associated with plant morphology, ecology and environmental effects on plants. OMICS International is a pioneer in organizing international conferences.

OMICS Group Conferences feel proud in inviting the contributors across the globe to its premier 5th World Congress on Biotechnology (Biotechnology-2014) to be held during June 25-27, 2014 at Valencia, Spain. The previous four World Biotechnology Congresses were held at Hyderabad-India, Philadelphia-USA, Hyderabad-India and Raleigh-USA had achieved a grand success. Now it is the time for the 5th World Congress on Biotechnology to address new challenges and emerging issues in Biotechnology. Biotechnology-2014 is the premier event that brings together a unique and International mix of experts, researchers and decision makers both from academia and industry across the globe to exchange their knowledge, experience and research innovations to build a world Biotechnology community.
