Diverse molecular processes regulate the interactions between plants and insect
herbivores. Here, we review genes and proteins that are involved in plant–herbivore …

Plants exist in close association with uncountable numbers of microorganisms around, on,
and within them. Some of these endophytically colonize plant roots. The colonization of roots …

Tropane alkaloids from nightshade plants are neurotransmitter inhibitors that are used for
treating neuromuscular disorders and are classified as essential medicines by the World …

Stress-responsive dihydroxy B-ring-substituted flavonoids have great potential to inhibit the
generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce the levels of ROS once they are …

Plants have evolved a plethora of different chemical defenses covering nearly all classes of
(secondary) metabolites that represent a major barrier to herbivory: Some are constitutive; …

Steviol glycosides are a group of highly sweet diterpene glycosides discovered in only a few
plant species, most notably the Paraguayan shrub Stevia rebaudiana. During the past few …

The sites of plant flavonoid biosynthesis, storage and final function often differ at the
subcellular, cell, and even tissue and organ levels. Efficient transport systems for flavonoids …

Plant cell culture systems were initially explored for use in commercial synthesis of several
high‐value secondary metabolites, allowing for sustainable production that was not limited …

Expression of the Arabidopsis thaliana MYB transcription factor TRANSPARENT TESTA 2
(TT2) in Medicago trunculata hairy roots induces both proanthocyanidin accumulation and …

Plants produce a host of secondary metabolites with a wide range of biological activities,
including potential toxicity to eukaryotic cells. Plants generally manage these compounds by …
