The global demand for medicinal plants has increased significantly due to their widespread use in therapeutic applications. However, a major challenge in utilizing these plants is the variability in the concentration of bioactive compounds, which complicates the standardization of medicinal plants for consistent therapeutic use. To address this issue and meet the growing demand, strategies to improve the quality and quantity of medicinal plants are essential. This includes advancements in breeding and cultivation, the development of superior genotypes, polyploidy induction, and the use of gene mapping techniques. Furthermore, to combat the risks of misidentification, genetic-based plant identification methods, such as multilocus barcoding, genome-based DNA barcodes, mini-barcoding, and meta-barcoding, can be employed to ensure accurate species authentication. However, genetic-based identification itself faces challenges, including genetic mutations, recombination, habitat fragmentation, and climate change, which threaten both the genetic integrity and adaptability of medicinal plants. To mitigate these risks and preserve genetic diversity, conservation strategies such as tissue culture technology, cryopreservation, gene banking, and ecological niche modeling are crucial. Collectively, these integrated methodologies offer a comprehensive framework for the sustainable use, conservation, and reliable production of medicinal plant resources, thereby facilitating the long-term availability of plant-based therapeutics.
