What is Role of Phenols and Polyphenols in Plant Defense Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses about?

Plants are frequently exposed to a wide range of stresses, both biotic and abiotic. The study of the stresses and the defense mechanism employed by the plants is highly being pursued in order to accommodate the increase in the stresses due to global warming (Di Ferdinando et al., 2014). Weeds, insect pests, fungi, and other microorganisms are considered to be biotic stress and the remaining physical and environmental conditions such as salinity, drought, ultraviolet radiation, extreme temperatures, and heavy metals are known as abiotic stresses (Atkinson and Urwin, 2012). Plants are immobile and hence they are constantly exposed to these stresses, therefore, they require a highly efficient mechanism to combat them. Some studies have shown that these stresses reduce the overall crop production and crop yield by 50%-70%, respectively, which may affect the productivity and growth of the plant (Sharma et al., 2019a). These stresses cause a rapid change in the cellular redox homeostasis with the abundant generation of reactive oxygen species which impair the cell organelles and cause obstructions in the ROS-promoted pathways. There are two types of metabolites produced by plants. Primar
