Evolution of secondary metabolites from an ecological and molecular phylogenetic perspective.
TL;DR: The distribution of secondary metabolite profiles mean that the systematic value of chemical characters becomes a matter of interpretation in the same way as traditional morphological markers and their occurrence apparently reflects adaptations and particular life strategies embedded in a given phylogenetic framework.

TL;DR: The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies and reflects the phylogenetic structure that is consistently resolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant breeding: importance of plant secondary metabolites for protection against pathogens and herbivores
TL;DR: It is illustrated that quinolizidine alkaloids are important as chemical defense compounds and that the alkaloid-free varieties (“sweet lupins”), which have been selected by plant breeders, are highly susceptible to a wide range of herbivores to which the alkAloid-rich wild types were resistant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modes of Action of Herbal Medicines and Plant Secondary Metabolites
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that many plant secondary metabolites have a broad spectrum of bioactivities, which can explain the medical application of complex extracts from medicinal plants for more health disorders which involve several targets.
