Fig 1.
Examples of plant-specialized metabolites produced by BGCs and their roles in defense or other biotic interactions.
Activities associated with each compound are depicted with color coding. From top, clockwise: allelopathy (green), insecticidal (red), antibacterial (yellow), anti-herbivore (purple), antifungal (blue), and modulation of microbiome (gray). BGC, biosynthetic gene cluster.
