The effect of developmental and environmental factors on secondary metabolites in medicinal plants

Yanqun Li, Dexin Kong, Ying Fu et al. · 7 Jan 2020

Secondary metabolites (SMs) of medicinal plants are the material basis of their clinically curative effects. They are also important indicators for evaluating the quality of medicinal materials. However, the synthesis and accumulation of SMs are very complex, which are affected by many factors including internal developmental genetic circuits (regulated gene, enzyme) and by external environment…
