TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - A team of botanists has created a reference book, which gives details of what the plants look like at all stages of the medicine trade and which species of a particular plant produces the active ingredients required.

The project also includes some DNA tests for plants. There are currently 600 plants, which are commonly used in medicine, but there are many more, which have yet to be studied and properly documented.
