Plant biochemistry is the study of biochemical reactions taking place in plants. It involves all the chemical reactions in plant-like photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, secondary metabolite production, pigment formation, regulation of hormones, and so on. Plants synthesize several pigments, dyes, hormones, and metabolites under different conditions that are primarily applied in various fields like medicine, dying, food, and rubber industries. Substances like aspirin, morphine, digoxin are used in pharmaceutical industries whereas plant pigments like anthocyanin, beta-carotene are used in dying and food industries.
