Beschreibungen

<i>Teucrium</i>&nbsp;species are an intersting object of research in the various aspects of science with multiple applications. With more than 300 species,&nbsp;<i>Teucrium</i>&nbsp;is one of the largest and well distributed genera of the Lamiaceae family. Known medicinal&nbsp;<i>Teucrium</i>&nbsp;species have a long traditional use as well as different potential applications in pharmacy, food and beverage industry.&nbsp;<i>Teucrium</i>&nbsp;species are very rich in a variety of secondary metabolites with significant biological activities. Based on that, the book contains 15 chapters which discusses recent advances in exploring the unique features of&nbsp;<i>Teucrium </i>species including morphology, systematics, taxonomy, biogeography, ethnobotany, phytochemistry, biological activity such as genotoxic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, anticholinesterase, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity of secondary metabolites as well as applications including current challenges and further perspectives. Some medicinal&nbsp;<i>Teucrium</i>&nbsp;species in excessive use can cause certain consequences. This phenomenon and precaution is also described. Whilst this book is primarily aimed at scientists, researchers, beginners in the investigations of&nbsp;<i>Teucrium</i>&nbsp;species, graduate and post-graduate students in biology, botany, biotechnology, agriculture, and pharmacy, as well as science enthusiasts and practitioners involved in medicinal plants applications. Book provides complete <i>Teucrium</i> species list, color photographs of selected <i>Teucrium</i> species on natural habitats, as well as up-to-date bibliography related to&nbsp;<i>Teucrium</i>&nbsp;genus.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Prof. Dr. Milan Stanković (1984) is an Associate Professor of Plant Science at the Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Kragujevac, Republic of Serbia and Head of Department of Biology and Ecology. He earned his BSc of Biology at Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Niš in 2007. His scientific and teaching carrer started as an Assistant at the Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Kragujevac in 2008. In 2012 he received his PhD degree in Plant Sciences at the same University with his thesis “Biological activity of secondary metabolites of Teucrium L. species from Serbian flora”. He completed his postdoctoral research at the Université François-Rabelais de Tours, France. In 2013 he was appointed to an Assistant Professor as well as Associate Professor in 2019 and teaches several BSc, MSc and PhD courses on Plant sciences as well as superviser of 20 BSc and MSc thesis and several PhD dissertations. Dr. Stanković is (co-)author of over 300 references including articles in peer-reviewed journals, edited books, book chapters, conference papers, meeteng abstracts etc. He is an editor, editorial board member and reviewer in several scientific journals. Currently works as an Associate Editor of Plants (2012-) and Rangeland Ecology and Management (2015-). He was a member of the scientific and organizing committee of several scientific conferences, congresses and symposia in the fields of Biology and Plant sciences. During his university career he has been a member of various scientific and professional associations such as Society for Experimental Biology – Italy, Society for Medicinal Plants and Natural Product Research, Société Botanique de France, Organization for the Phyto-Taxonomic Investigation of the Mediterranean Area and Serbian Biological Society. Currently he is a member of the State Commission for Expertise in the publication of school textbooks in Biology. In scientific collaboration, Dr. Stanković has published co-authored papers with colleagues from 23 various international universities from 17 countries. During his scientific career he participated in the realization of over 30 scientific projects and studies.
