MindMap Gallery Basic Overview of Plant Chemistry
The basic overview of plant chemistry covers primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, and plant hormones. Plants produce basic metabolites such as sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids through photosynthesis, which are the foundation of plant life activities. For defense and survival, plants also produce secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenes, and phenolic compounds, which have antibacterial, insecticidal, and defensive properties. Additionally, plant hormones play crucial regulatory roles in plant growth and development, influencing cell division, elongation, and differentiation, thereby affecting plant growth and morphogenesis.
