Secondary metabolites and natural products are critical parts of plant biology with broad ecological and economic significance. The session will examine biosynthesis and roles of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolics. Participants will understand how these compounds play a role in defense against pests and stresses in plants. The session identifies their relevance in drug discovery, nutraceuticals, and the food sector. Researchers will report work on metabolic pathways that control secondary metabolite synthesis. Participants will learn how secondary metabolites contribute to ecological adaptation and chemical communication. The session focuses on biotechnological approaches to maximizing production of precious natural products. Case studies will reveal how secondary metabolites are exploited in crop protection and human medicine. Participants will learn about advances in phytochemistry and metabolic engineering. This session connects plant biochemistry, pharmacology, and agriculture with the strength of natural products in science and industry.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
