Secondary plant metabolites are several chemical compounds produced by the plant cell through metabolic pathways obtained from the primary metabolic pathways. Primary metabolites include small molecules such as sugars, amino acids, tricarboxylic acids, or Krebs cycle intermediates, proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides. Many secondary metabolites are toxic or repellant to herbivores and microbes and help defend plants producing them. Secondary metabolism produces a large number of specialized compounds that do not aid in the growth and development of plants but are required for the plant to survive in its environment.
