Description

<p>Plant produces a diverse array of metabolites, such as flavonoids, isoprenoids, and alkaloids.　It has been shown that these metabolites play important roles in plant survival and reproduction in plat lineage-specific manners, with their structures differing with plant lineages.　Thus, these metabolites are now called “plant specialized metabolites”.　Biosynthetic pathways of many of these metabolites have been clarified, and it has been revealed that enzymes and proteins involved in their biosynthesis are found to form metabolons, which are complexes of weakly associated metabolic enzymes.　This review surveys recent progress of metabolon research in plant specialized metabolism.</p>
