Agrawal Editor-in-Chief Natural Product Communications Vol. 12 (2) 2017 Published online (www.naturalproduct.us) Introduction to the Special Issue on the 9th Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the South-Eastern European Countries (9th CMAPSEEC, 2016) This special issue contains a selection of papers originally presented at the 9th Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the South- Eastern European Countries (9th CMAPSEEC), which was held in the beautiful city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, on May 26 – 29, 2016. It was organized by the Association of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the South-Eastern European Countries, together with the Bulgarian Phytochemical Society and the Institute of Organic Chemistry with the Centre of Phytochemistry of the Bulgarian Academy of Science, and with the President of AMAPSEEC, Prof. Zora Dajic, as Honorary Chairperson. The 9th CMAPSEEC continued the practice of the AMAPSEEC conference series of presenting the most recent advances and state of the art research in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants in South-Eastern Europe, a region with rich biodiversity and a long standing tradition of use of plants for medication. As usual, the Conference gathered scientists, professionals and representatives of companies working in the exciting field of medicinal and aromatic plants not only from South-Eastern Europe but also from many countries all over the world. The conference provided a great opportunity to share research results, new approaches and ideas, and views and visions for the development of the application of medicinal and aromatic plants for the benefit of society. It became a celebration of human curiosity and endeavour to explore Nature. Coverage of the Conference included: Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) diversity at all levels and tools for its evaluation; Pharmacology and biological effects of active MAP compounds; and MAP cultivation, breeding and biotechnology. The 9th CMAPSEEC was very successful: it attracted over 150 participants from 26 countries, with 10 prominent scientists as invited lecturers, 31 short lectures and over 160 poster presentations. This issue of Natural Product Communications presents some of the highlights of the conference. Edited by members of the conference organizing committee Prof. Milena Popova, Prof. Milen Georgiev, Prof. Vassya Bankova, and the Journal Editor in Chief, Dr. Pawan Agrawal, the articles selected here were submitted shortly after the conference and rigorously peer-reviewed and revised before being accepted for publication. The editors received a high number of articles from the conference participants, and all submissions received extensive feedback from the editors and anonymous peer-reviewers. Unfortunately, not all submissions were accepted, but the editors wish all those who submitted well with their future research and careers, and we look forward to
