Biodiversitical, Morphological and Biochemical Evaluation of Wild Herb Plants species at different Regions of Agra (U.P.) INDIA

Khushboo Gupta, ^*Jyoti Mathur and Atul Tiwari¹ Medicinal plants have been explored and used in traditional medical practices for thousands of years, dating back to prehistoric times. Plants produce many chemicals and biochemical compounds to perform many functions, including defence against herbivorous insects, vertebrates, fungi, and diseases. This diversity must be maintained for the mutual survival and survival of species. Biodiversity is disappearing due to habitat loss and destruction, overexploitation of resources, unprecedented climate change, pollution, disease, crop displacement, wildlife poaching, etc. As humans reap all the benefits of biodiversity, they must be concerned about the conservation of biodiversity in all its forms and the good health and safety of future generations. Fresh leaf samples of selected herbal (medicinal) plants were collected from four locations in the Agra region: a total of 4 samples of wild plants.
