Influence of abiotic stress signals on secondary metabolites in plants (2011, background): “The production of these compounds is often low (less than 1% dry weight) and depends greatly on the physiological and developmental stage of the plant.(6) Some of the plant derived natural products include drugs such as morphine, codeine, cocaine, quinine etc.”
