In the growth condition(s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and recent increasing evidences have implicated stress and defense response signaling in their production. The type and concentration(s) of secondary molecule(s) produced by a plant are determined by the species, genotype, physiology, developmental stage and environmental factors during growth. This suggests the physiological adaptive responses employed by various plant taxonomic groups in coping with the stress and defensive stimuli. The past recent decades had witnessed renewed interest to study abiotic factors that influence secondary metabolism during in vitro and in vivo growth of plants. Application of molecular biology tools and techniques are facilitating understanding the signaling processes and pathways involved in the SMs production at subcellular, cellular, organ and whole plant systems during in vivo and in vitro growth, with application in metabolic engineering of biosynthetic pathways intermediates.

• Plant Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis and Transcriptional Regulation in Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stress Conditions (2021, background): “During their evolution, plants have adapted to drought conditions by accumulating SMs, such as terpenes, alkaloids, and phenolic complexes, via ionic or osmotic stress induction; however, increased SM accumulation is usually accompanied by reduced biomass [116].”
• Drought and Salinity Stress Responses and Microbe-Induced Tolerance in Plants (2020, background): “…vitamin C in S. lycopersicum, polyphenols in Fagopyrum esculentum, stevioside in Stevia rebaudiana leaves, allicin in Allium sativum, and rosmarinic acid in Salvia miltiorrhiza leaves, in response to water deficit (Sarker and Oba, 2018; Isah, 2019) enhance the quality of these species/fruits.”
