Introduction

Plants, like all living organisms, face numerous challenges in their environment, including attack by pests and pathogens. To defend themselves, plants have evolved a complex array of defense mechanisms, including the production of secondary metabolites. Secondary metabolites are organic compounds that are not directly involved in the growth, development, or reproduction of the plant, but play a crucial role in defense against herbivores, pathogens, and other environmental stresses.

The role of secondary metabolites in plant defense has been the subject of extensive research, as these compounds are not only important for plant survival, but also have potential applications in agriculture, medicine, and other industries. Understanding the biosynthesis, regulation, and function of secondary metabolites in plant defense is essential for developing sustainable strategies to enhance plant resistance to pests and diseases.

This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of secondary metabolites in plant defense, with a focus on their biosynthesis, regulation, and ecological functions. By synthesizing existing knowledge and presenting new research findings, this thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of how plants defend themselves against biotic and abiotic stresses.
