High-value active ingredients in medicinal plants have attracted research attention because
of their benefits for human health, such as the antimalarial artemisinin, anticardiovascular …

Plants produce a large variety of secondary metabolites including alkaloids, glucosinolates,
terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. These compounds play key roles in plant–environment …

Jasmonates (JAs) act as conserved elicitors of plant secondary metabolism. JA perception
triggers extensive transcriptional reprogramming leading to the concerted activation of entire …

Alkaloids represent a highly diverse group of compounds that are related only by the
occurrence of a nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring. Plants are estimated to produce …

Plants produce thousands of secondary metabolites (aka specialized metabolites) of diverse
chemical nature. These compounds play important roles in protecting plants under adverse …

Plant secondary metabolites play critical roles in plant‐environment interactions. They are
synthesized in different organs or tissues at particular developmental stages, and in …

Catharanthus roseus produces a large array of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) that are an
important source of natural or semisynthetic anticancer drugs. The biosynthesis of TIAs is …

OsWRKY76 encodes a group IIa WRKY transcription factor of rice. The expression of
OsWRKY76 was induced within 48h after inoculation with rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe …

Plants produce structurally diverse specialized metabolites, including bioactive alkaloids
and terpenoids, in response to biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. The APETALA2 …

Catharanthus roseus produces bioactive terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIA s), including the
chemotherapeutics, vincristine and vinblastine. Transcriptional regulation of TIA …
