Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are plant products that are variously distributed throughout the plant kingdom. These secondary compounds have various chemical groups and are named according to their chemical constituents. For their ability to defend biotic and abiotic stresses they are considered as plants' defensive or bio-functional compounds. These metabolites derived from secondary metabolism of plants are produced for protection of the species from insects, herbivores and extreme environmental conditions. They are indirectly involved in plants’ growth and development.
