Most of the species are aromatic and possess a complex mixture of bioactive compounds that contribute to overall biological activity in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Secondary metabolites with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer effects are crucial in terms of the previously mentioned biological activities. Moreover, plants that belong to this family are valuable in food, cosmetics, flavoring, fragrance, perfumery, pesticide, and pharmaceutical industries. Becauseofawiderangeofapplications,theplantsoftheLamiaceaefamilyarewidely cultivatedandare,therefore,regardedasanindispensablesourceoffunctionalfood.Basedonthese facts,numerousresearchworkshavebeencarriedoutondifferentaspectsofLamiaceaespeciesin regardtoitsbiology,ecologyandapplications. TheSpecialIssueBookentitled”LamiaceaeSpecies: Biology, Ecology and Practical Uses” contributes to the knowledge of selected Lamiaceae species fromseveralaspects, suchasdiversityandphytogeography, taxonomy, ethnobotany, quantitative, andqualitativecompositionaswellasbiologicalactivityofsecondarymetabolites.
