The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Natural products and drug discovery (2009, background): “For example, many chemicals that plants evolved to defend themselves against herbivores are now used as laxatives, emetics, cardiotonics or muscle relaxants in humans”
Root-specific metabolism: The biology and biochemistry of underground organs (2001, background): “At present, 30 ginsenosides have been identified, of which eight are considered to have potent pharmacological activity (Briskin, 2000).”
Water deficit effect on the accumulation of biomass and artemisinin in annual wormwood(Artemisia annua L., Asteraceae) (2010, background): “Some secondary metabolites are now seen as desirable commodities, and no longer as “waste compounds” (Briskin, 2000; Laird and Kate, 2002).”
Upregulation of ginsenoside and gene expression related to triterpene biosynthesis in ginseng hairy root cultures elicited by methyl jasmonate (2009, neutral): “It exhibits pharmacological effects including antifatigue, anticancer, cardio-protective, immunomodulatory, and anti-oxidant properties (Sticher 1998; Briskin 2000; Shibata 2001).”
