Plant secondary metabolites are a diverse group of molecules that are involved in the adaptation of plants to their environment but are not part of the primary biochemical pathways of cell growth and reproduction.

​

These compounds are played many important roles in plant life such as involved in defense against herbivores and pathogens, regulation of symbiosis, control of seed germination, and chemical inhibition of competing plant species (allelopathy), and therefore are an integral part of the interactions of species in plant and animal communities and the adaptation of plants to their environment.���
