plant-toxicology

3 articles

Plant toxicology examines the toxic compounds produced by plants, their chemical nature, biosynthetic pathways, and the physiological effects they have on other organisms. Understanding these substances is essential in plant science for elucidating defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens, as well as for investigating how plants interact with their ecosystems. Research in this field also informs applications in agriculture, pharmacology, and environmental safety.
