Highlights key advancements in the peppermint research, including cultivation practices, medicinal significance of the plant, composition of the essential oil, effect of abiotic stressors, and strategies to enhance the productivity of the plant under normal and perturbed environmental conditions.

Peppermint is one of the most widely utilized medicinal herbs worldwide, valued for its diverse applications across food, health, and industry. Its essential oil and bioactive compounds support digestive health, pain relief, skin care, and antimicrobial activity, while also finding use in aromatherapy and performance enhancement.

This new book presents a concise and up-to-date synthesis of research on peppermint plant biology, chemistry, and applications. The volume examines essential oil composition, secondary metabolites, and pharmacological relevance, bridging traditional uses with modern scientific insights.

A key focus is the impact of abiotic stress on peppermint plant growth and productivity, along with strategies to mitigate these effects. Contributions explore the roles of mineral nutrients, plant growth regulators, nanoparticles, and depolymerized polysaccharides in enhancing yield and oil quality. Emerging approaches, including radiation-processed compounds and nanotechnology-based interventions, are highlighted for their potential to improve plant performance under challenging environmental conditions.

The book also addresses cropping systems and sustainable cultivation practices for peppermint, providing a well-rounded perspective that integrates scientific innovation with practical applications. Collectively, the chapters offer a coherent framework for advancing peppermint research and improving its productivity and utility across sectors.
