BIOPROSPECTING: A TOOL TO CONSERVE CHILEAN BRYOPHYTES

Here, we present the current state of knowledge on the diversity of Chilean bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts), the secondary metabolites present in these plants, and the biological activity of extracts from populations of Chilean species. Our goal is to establish the potential of these...
