Since secondary metabolites represent a chemical interface between plants and surrounding environment, their syntheses are frequently affected by environmental conditions. Thus, variations in the total content and/or of the relative proportions of secondary metabolites in plants can take place. We review the main environmental factors that can streamline or alter the production or concentration of secondary metabolites in plants. How seasonality, circadian rhythm, developmental stage and age, temperature, water availability, UV radiation, soil nutrients, altitude, atmospheric composition and tissue damage influence secondary metabolism are discussed.

- Agroecosystem Management and Nutritional Quality of Plant Foods: The Case of Organic Fruits and Vegetables (2011, background): “The composition of a fruit or vegetable is known to depend on a wide range of genetic and environmental factors, many of which, such as climate, ozone pollution and maturity at harvest, are independent of the production system (Gobbo-Neto and Lopes, 2007).”
- Growth regulators and essential oil production (2010, background): “Endogenous factors like development stage of whole plant and specific organs, and exogenous factors (biotic and abiotic) can alter essential oil production (Sangwan et al. 2001; Lima et al. 2003; Gobbo-Neto and Lopes 2007).”
