👉 Phytochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies the chemical structures, functions, and mechanisms underlying plant growth, development, and metabolism. It has been extensively studied in recent years due to its potential applications in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and environmental science. The term "phytochemistry" can be applied to various aspects of plant biology, including the structure and function of plants' cells, their interactions with other organisms, and the role of plant hormones in regulating plant growth and development.
