Immense chemical diversity is one of the hallmark features plants. This chemo-diversity mainly underpinned by a highly complex and biodiverse biochemical machinery. Plant metabolic enzymes originated were inherited from their eukaryotic prokaryotic ancestors further diversified unprecedentedly high rates gene duplication functionalization experienced in land Unlike microbes, which display frequent horizontal transfer events multiple inputs energy organic carbon, plants predominantly rely on carbon generated CO 2 have relatively few transfers during recent evolutionary history. As such, plant networks evolved stepwise manner using existing as starting point under various constraints. That said, until recently, evolution only handful traits had been extensively investigated metabolism has received fraction attention of, development, for example. Advances metabolomics next-generation sequencing have, however, recently led to deeper understanding how wide range primary specialized (secondary) pathways both consequence natural selection domestication crop improvement processes. article part theme issue ‘The metabolism’.
