Description
Book Introduction
There are approximately 340,000 species of higher plants on Earth, and there are approximately 5,000 species of plants distributed in Korea alone.
However, the expansion of human activities and population growth are resulting in environmental destruction and extinction of plant species.


Humans have domesticated only a very small number of wild plant species and improved them into plants with traits suitable for their intended use.
Therefore, as agriculture developed, a wide variety of native species were replaced by a small number of superior breeds, resulting in a further decrease in the diversity of cultivated plants.
Plants that were previously considered useless are often recognized as having new utility as a result of scientific and technological advancements. Therefore, systematic collection, preservation, evaluation, and utilization of resource plants are essential for securing plant diversity.

Resource plants are considered to have not only their current utility value but also their potential utility value in the future.
It has been revealed that various resource plants are not only used to purify water pollution and prevent air pollution, but also play a major role in preserving the ecological environment and protecting the natural environment.
Therefore, the value of resource plants will be further emphasized in the future.

Recently, research on the development of new drugs from natural products, including resource plants, is being actively conducted.
In addition, many academic and industrial achievements are being made through research and investigation on securing and applying resources for the development of new pharmaceuticals, the use of new varieties and physiologically active substances, and biotechnological approaches such as callus culture, organ culture, and genetic manipulation.
The composition of this textbook is as follows.
First, it contains explanations necessary for basic understanding of resource plants and information on the importance, classification, distribution, use, and quality evaluation of resource plants.
Second, the characteristics, ingredients, uses, cultivation techniques, etc. of resource plants that have already been developed and their characteristics have been revealed according to their intended use are described in general terms.
