Plants synthesize a wide variety of secondary metabolites with ecological and economic significance. This session focuses on alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolics. Biosynthetic pathways of natural products will be discussed by experts. Ecological function of secondary metabolites for defense will be discussed. Medicinal plants and their pharmacological properties will be presented through case studies. Secondary metabolites in plant-microbe interactions will be discussed. The session will cover biotechnological production of natural products. We will emphasize metabolomic approaches to profiling plant compounds. Emerging metabolic engineering technologies will be discussed. Secondary metabolites as a source of biofuels and agrochemicals will be discussed. Conservation of medicinal plant diversity is the focus of the session. We will discuss synthetic biology approaches for pathway reconstruction. Participants will learn about the economic value of plant metabolites. The trail will stimulate translational research in natural product biotechnology.
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.
