Natures Hidden Resource: Secondary Metabolites and Their Intricate Ecological Significance

Daopeng Fallah

Secondary metabolites are a fascinating and diverse group of organic compounds produced by various organisms, including plants, microbes, and fungi. This manuscript delves into the world of secondary metabolites, highlighting their structural diversity, ecological roles, and potential applications. We explore their contribution to plant defense mechanisms, human health, and industrial applications, shedding light on the intricate interplay between organisms and their chemical environments.
