Societal Impact Statement Plants and fungi have provided, or inspired, key pharmaceuticals for global health challenges, including cancer, heart disease, dementia, malaria, are valued as traditional medicines worldwide. Global demand medicinal plants has threatened certain species, contributing to biodiversity loss depletion of natural resources that important the humanity. We consider evolving role in healthcare new challenges human arise. present current emerging scientific approaches,...
Plants sustain human life. Understanding geographic patterns of the diversity species used by people is thus essential for sustainable management plant resources. Here, we investigate global distribution 35,687 utilized spanning 10 use categories (e.g., food, medicine, material). Our findings indicate general concordance between and total diversity, supporting potential simultaneously conserving its contributions to people. Although Indigenous lands across Mesoamerica, Horn Africa, Southern...
Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) is, a widely accessible working list all known plant species, as step towards complete world Flora. This paper discusses importance to GSPC itself, many sectors science and society, decision makers. It then examines progress made date prospects Target's completion. Good has been in bryophytes, ferns gymnosperms with lists either or almost so these groups. Online are available around 50% flowering plants. In all, is 53% complete....
Plants are essential to human wellbeing, supporting important ecosystem services that critical components of Natural Capital. They supply food, medicine, fibre, fuel and building materials, provide a broad spectrum benefits society, offering vital solutions some the world’s major challenges, including bioenergy, animal health, nutrition, microbial resistance, industrial biotechnology, synthetic biology. In 2016, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew published first State World's report, with key...

Social Impact Statement Patents can be used as a measure of innovation and to illustrate the commercial potential plant fungal biodiversity. The proportion species named in patents represents only 6.2% species, whereas fungi is likely less than 0.4%. Fungi clearly justify further research. Innovation on usually drives more that species. We suggest we should ensure commercialization frameworks encourage studies greater diversity plants fungi. This could not increase range biodiversity‐based...
The need for scientists to exchange, share and organise data has resulted in a proliferation of biodiversity research-data portals over recent decades. These cyber-infrastructures have had major impact on taxonomy helped the discipline by allowing faster access bibliographic information, biological nomenclatural data, specimen information. Several specialised aggregate particular types large number species, including legumes. Here, we argue that, despite such data-aggregation portals,...
<ns3:p>Background Premodern medical texts are an invaluable source for scholars from humanities and sciences. However, they usually not accessible as few scientists with interest in premodern materia medica also qualified philologists. Therefore, a balance has to be struck translate these while preserving information on how reliable we believe given translation be. In this paper, conduct case study the vernacular version of Ioannes archiatrus. Methods The present forms part output...
In recent decades, the study of historical texts has attracted research interest, particularly in ethnopharmacology. All studies materia medica cited ancient and medieval share a concern, however, as to reliability modern identifications these substances. Previous European or Mediterranean relied mostly on authoritative dictionaries glossaries providing botanical identities for plant names question. Several they suggest, are questionable real possibility error exists.
A series of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, known as ISO IDMP, set out the elements required identification medicinal products, including one substances [1]. An Implementation Guide [2] substance standard has been written by international experts. The second edition, which includes annexes Herbals and Homeopathic substances, will be published in 2016. IDMP addresses a worldwide demand internationally harmonised specifications order to simplify exchange data...
