Plants have evolved fiendishly complicated metabolic networks. For years, scientists focused on how plants make secondary metabolites, the compounds that plants produce to enhance their defense and ...

This Collection welcomes original research on secondary metabolites, including plant biochemical studies and well-validated applications of metabolites. Secondary metabolites are compounds produced by ...

Scientists from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered a promising new use for a key intermediate in vitamin C production, demonstrating its potential to ...

Ingestion of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) presents a physiological and behavioral challenge for mammalian herbivores. Herbivores must not only detoxify PSMs, but they may also deal with ...

We were interested in determining the effect if any on growing conditions on clones of the same cannabis plant. In particular we were interested in the difference between plants grown outdoors in a ...

Tea quality depends on a delicate balance between amino acids and secondary metabolites, yet how these compounds are coordinated at the molecular level has remained unclear.

The continual emergence of new variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been prolonging the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. These variants emerge ...
