Stress and defense responses in plant secondary metabolites production (2019, background): “In the past recent decades, studies have also shown that exposure of plant cells to a stressful growth condition(s) may result in an exchange between carbons to biomass production for the biosynthesis of defensive plant secondary compounds [30] when the stress situation is adequately recognized [6, ”
Root Exudation of Phytochemicals in Arabidopsis Follows Specific Patterns That Are Developmentally Programmed and Correlate with Soil Microbial Functions (2013, background): “Plant secondary metabolites’ are known defense signals [50] that play important roles in disease resistance [51,52], in adapting to the changing environment and overcoming stress [53].”
Plant Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis and Transcriptional Regulation in Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stress Conditions (2021, background): “Phenylamides have reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging properties during stress conditions; they are produced in tobacco and beans when the plants are exposed to heat shock and water stress [104].”
Secondary metabolites and their multidimensional prospective in plant life (2017, background): “Similarly diterpenes and triterpenes both classes contain primary and secondary metabolites [3, 4] These secondary metabolites are major contributors of specific odour, color and taste of plant parts.”
