The secretions of these metabolic factories are chemically very diverse, including of terpenoid, fatty acid, or phenylpropanoid origins. They find uses in various industrial areas, for example as pharmaceutical, flavor, or fragrance ingredients or as insecticides. Recent progress in the elucidation of biosynthesis pathways for these compounds has opened up novel opportunities for metabolic engineering in microorganisms as well as in plants.
