Higher plants undergo a variety of stresses and to combat those stresses they acclimatize
themselves by producing diverse secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites also …

Plants use an intricate defense system against pests and pathogens, including the
production of low molecular mass secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity, which …

Medicinal plants are a rich source of highly diverse specialized metabolites with important
pharmacological properties. Until recently, plant biologists were limited in their ability to …

When plants are attacked by pathogens, they defend themselves with an arsenal of defence
mechanisms, both passive and active. The active defence responses, which require de novo …
