Plant Metabolites Expression

Abstract

Plant metabolic engineering is an emerging discipline that promises to create new opportunities in agricultural research, environmental applications, production of chemicals, and even medicine. Crucial to the success of this technology is the enhanced understanding of plant metabolite production. This chapter reviews recent research on plant metabolite production and aims to illustrate the link between different elements in the metabolism regulation process. Considerable attention is given to the environmental factors affecting metabolite production in plants. Hormone metabolism has also emerged as a key factor in regulating the plant stress response and recent developments in defining the functional and genetic basis of plant hormones in regulating stress response will be addressed. Finally, this chapter will discuss both primary and secondary metabolism in plants and will highlight transcriptional regulation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis, including that of flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids.
