plant-derived-compounds
Plant-derived compounds are the vast array of chemical substances—including alkaloids, terpenes, phenolics, and flavonoids—that plants biosynthesize through their primary and secondary metabolic pathways. Studying these compounds is central to plant science because they reveal how plants adapt to environmental stresses, defend against pathogens and herbivores, and attract pollinators. Understanding their biosynthesis and regulation also enables researchers to harness plants as sustainable sources of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and industrial materials.
