Beneficial plant product, their uses and their evolutionary perspectives: A review

Abstract

Plants are the natural source of development of new products which has medicinal value for drug discovery. Plants secondary metabolites are unique sources for pharmaceuticals food additives, flavors and others industrial values. A metabolic intermediates or product found as a differentiation product in restricted taxonomic group not essential to growth and life of the producing organisms and biosynthesis from one or more general metabolites by wider variety of pathways, which can be altered and can be use to produce beneficial products. They had created strategies of defense against pathogens and herbivores attacks. The commercial importance of these secondary metabolites has resulted in its production and exploring possibilities of enhancing its production by using tissue culture technology. The present review shows the brief introduction, classification, improvements of production and importance of secondary metabolites.
