This PhD research explores how doubling plant chromosomes, a process called artificial polyploidization can make medicinal and ornamental plants more potent and valuable. Using Thymus vulgaris. L and Callisia fragrans (Lindl.) Woodson, the study shows that this method boosts the plants’ natural chemicals, improving their ability to fight bacteria (antimicrobial), reduce inflammation (anti-inflammatory), and protect cells (Cytoprotective) from damage. Advanced computer modelling confirmed that these enhanced compounds interact strongly with key biological proteins, explaining their improved health benefits. By combining plant science, lab testing, and computational analysis, the work offers a new way to naturally increase the quality, yield, and market value of plant-based products for pharmaceutical, cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals industries.
