Plant metabolism encompasses all the biochemical processes that occur within plants to sustain life. These processes include the synthesis and breakdown of molecules, energy production and storage, and the regulation of various metabolic pathways. Plant metabolism is crucial for growth, development, reproduction, and adaptation to environmental stresses.
Primary Metabolism :
Primary metabolism involves essential processes that are necessary for the growth and maintenance of plant cells. These include photosynthesis, respiration, and the synthesis of essential biomolecules.
Photosynthesis:
Respiration:
Biosynthesis of Essential Molecules:
Secondary Metabolism :
Secondary metabolism involves the production of compounds that are not essential for basic cellular functions but play crucial roles in interactions with the environment, defense mechanisms, and adaptation.
Alkaloids:
Phenolics:
Terpenoids:
Environmental Influences on Plant Metabolism :
Applications of Plant Metabolism :
Agriculture:
Pharmaceuticals:
Biofuels:
Environmental Conservation:
Plant metabolism is a complex network of biochemical processes essential for plant life and their interactions with the environment. Advances in understanding plant metabolic pathways and their regulation have significant implications for agriculture, medicine, and environmental sustainability.
