The incidence rate of several deadly diseases, particularly cancer, diabetes and AIDS, that cause sufferings to 20, 171, and 33 million people, respectively in the world, is highly alarming. Hunger and malnutrition, together affecting over 800 million people, are also aggravating the threat to global human health. Exploitation of phytomedicinal plants and nutraceutical crops could serve as a potential source of alternative and complimentary medicines to mitigate these problems. Present world market of herbal drugs and dietary supplements is somewhere in between $20-50 million and is predicted to be at $5 trillion by 2050. Presently, plant-based drugs contribute 34% directly and 18% indirectly to clinical drugs. This commercial importance coupled with the severe prevalence of the deadly diseases has facilitated generation of genetic, genomics, and breeding resources in medicinal plants and nutraceutical crops. Genetic linkage maps for at least two medicinal plants, periwinkle and stevia, have already been developed. Recently, we have also constructed a genetic map of bitter melon and positioned genes\/QTLs controlling fruit traits, and contents of phytomedicines acting against cancer, diabetes and HIV. Genetic maps of several field and fruit crops and map positions of genes\/QTLs governing contents of many nutraceuticals are available now. Results on biosynthesis, biotransformation, and metabolic pathways of many therapeutic secondary metabolites have accumulated along with some structural and functional genomic resources at least for a few plants. Some of these encouraging achievements will be presented by the speakers of this workshop. The follow-up meeting of the International Consortium of Phytomedomics and Nutriomics  will include comprehensive discussion to immediately initiate concerted global efforts for generating structural and functional genomics resources, and whole genome sequencing  in a couple of model plants to start with. Interested people from the scientific community, public agencies, and private companies are welcome to participate both in the workshop and the follow-up meeting and extend views and suggestions to facilitate construction of the future road map of genomics and molecular breeding in phytomedical plants and nutraceutical crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
