Phytochemistry is the study of the chemistry of plants and plant processes. It focuses on the identification, isolation, and characterization of bioactive compounds found in plants, and explores their potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Phytochemists analyze how these compounds contribute to plant growth, defense, and interactions with their environment.
