Plant Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis and Transcriptional Regulation in Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stress Conditions (2021, background): “In contrast, SMs are multifunctional metabolites that are typically involved in plant defense and environmental communication [1].”
Evolution of secondary metabolites in legumes (Fabaceae) (2013, positive): “Some compounds serve for nitrogen storage, UV protection and as antioxidative agents (reviewed in Hartmann, 2007; Wink, 1988, 2003, 2008a,b).”
Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. (2010, neutral): “A clear differentiation between secondary and primary metabolites may seem obsolute (Hartmann, 2007).”
Plant secondary metabolites: a key driver of litter decomposition and soil nutrient cycling (2016, background): “The term ‘secondary metabolites’ has historically been used to refer to all compounds that are not ‘primary metabolites’, that is those metabolites not essential for the growth, development and reproduction of an organism (Hartmann 2007).”
