KnowraPlant secondary metaboliteLinked fromLinked fromThe 13 pages that link to Plant secondary metabolite, each with the reason it gives.All 13Broader topic 2Related 5Narrower topic 6HerbivoryRelated: Tannins, alkaloids, and other compounds can make plant tissues toxic or difficult to digest.Plant defense against herbivoryBroader topic: Many chemical defenses deter feeding, poison herbivores, or reduce digestion.Plant tissue cultureRelated: Cell cultures can be used to produce compounds such as pharmaceuticals and pigments.LamiaceaeNarrower topic: Many characteristic mint-family aromas arise from specialized metabolites.BasilNarrower topic: Basil’s aromatic compounds are secondary metabolites that shape its scent and deter herbivores.Cyanogenic glycosidesNarrower topic: Cyanogenic glycosides are specialized metabolites rather than primary nutrients.YewNarrower topic: Yew taxanes and taxines are specialized chemicals with ecological effects and human uses.PhytophagyRelated: Many phytophagous animals must tolerate or detoxify these compounds.Plant-herbivore interactionsBroader topic: Some deter herbivores, while others are tolerated or exploited by specialized consumers.CeleryNarrower topic: Celery's aroma and bitterness come partly from defensive secondary compounds.ApocynaceaeRelated: The family’s alkaloids and cardiac glycosides are prominent examples of defensive specialized chemistry.Anthranilic acidNarrower topic: Anthranilate-derived compounds enter plant pathways for pigments, defense chemicals, and signaling molecules.Plant metabolismRelated: Metabolic pathways generate compounds used in defense, signaling, and ecological interactions.
