Abstract
Plant natural products (PNPs) are specialized metabolites with diverse biological activities that are central to plant adaptation to biotic stresses. They act as chemical defenses against pathogens and pests, supporting plant survival under attack. Harnessing their potential as eco-friendly biopesticides requires a detailed understanding of their biosynthetic pathways and biological functions. This review highlights recent advances in the discovery and pathway elucidation of defensive PNPs and discusses strategies for their application through heterologous expression and enhanced in planta production.
