Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The secondary metabolites in plants are those compounds which are not required for the growth, development, and reproduction of the plants. The absence of secondary metabolite does not cause any significant change. The secondary metabolites may or may not be useful for the plant itself, but they might be helpful for the humans.
