Metabolic abnormalities lead to the dysfunction of metabolic pathways and metabolite
accumulation or deficiency which is well-recognized hallmarks of diseases. Metabolite …

Plants are natural experts in organic synthesis, being able to generate large numbers of
specific metabolites with widely varying structures that help them adapt to variable survival …

Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Natural Products (NP) are essential for the discovery of novel drugs and products for
numerous biotechnological applications. The NP discovery process is expensive and time …

Plants have been an essential source of human medicine for millennia. In this review, we
argue that a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of medicinal plants that …

Volatile organic compounds play essential roles in plant environment interactions as well as
determining the fragrance of plants. Although gas chromatography-mass spectrometry …

Secondary metabolism in plants gives rise to a vast array of small-molecule natural
products. The discovery of operon-like gene clusters in plants has provided a new …

Although much is known about plant traits that function in nonhost resistance against
pathogens, little is known about nonhost resistance against herbivores, despite its …

Similar to blood, interstitial fluid (ISF) contains exogenous drugs and biomarkers and may
therefore substitute blood in drug analysis. However, current ISF extraction techniques …

Plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) are variably distributed across taxa, tissues, and
ecological contexts; this variability has inspired many theories about PSM function, which to …
