Medicinal plants serve as abundant reservoirs of natural secondary metabolitescompounds, such asincluding pigments, spices, insect repellents, and therapeutic compounds, which are used utilized extensively in traditional systems. However, their phytochemicals constituents,, potential health benefits, and even response to extreme environments are not fully explored. A range of omics technologies has been extensively utilized in the study of medicinal plants to explore gene functions, unravel biosynthetic pathways of bioactive compounds, and understand the regulatory mechanisms behind gene expression. Due to the complex genetic regulatory network in medicinal plants, new technologies such as proteome assays make it easier to explain biological phenomenaexplaining the different biological phenomena is better done by novel technologies such as proteome assays. Proteomics could offer a paradigm shift in our understanding of medicinal plants' cellular metabolism. Until now, few classifications regarding recent and upcoming trends in proteomic studies in medicinal plants have been presented. This review highlights the most recent advances in medicinal plants' proteomics and how proteomics gains insight into the dynamic changes in medicinal plants' cellular metabolism.
