Plant biochemistry is the study of plants and the metabolic pathways that occurs in plants, and how these metabolic reactions drive plant growth, development, and adaptation. It examines both primary metabolites essential for life processes and secondary metabolites involved in defense and signaling. Key processes studied include photosynthesis, respiration, and the synthesis of nutrients and signaling molecules. This field is crucial for understanding fundamental plant biology and has applications in agriculture, biotechnology, and medicine.
