Acknowledgement

The aim of Planta Medica is the communication of significant research contributions in the fields of natural products and medicinal plants. The scientific publication process based on the peer-review system would be unthinkable without the dedication of those scientists who evaluate and comment the submitted manuscripts. The Editorial Board and the Publisher of Planta Medica gratefully acknowledge the time consuming but highly valuable efforts which are provided by the reviewers on a voluntary basis. Many authors appreciate the valuable comments and constructive critique aimed at improving the scientific quality of their manuscripts.

The Editorial Board in 2006 gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of all members of the Advisory Board and of the following reviewers:
