Preface
The field of natural products chemistry is immense, fascinating, and interesting because of limitless structural varieties and substitution patterns of natural products, and their specific metabolic origins and fates, cellular transformations, and versatile physiological and other biological activities. Iridoids and their 7,8-seco-derivatives, called secoiridoids, are one of the major classes of secondary plant metabolites, mainly found in a restricted group of plant families. Most of these plant metabolites are found in commonly used folk medicinal plants and edible fruits and vegetables of many countries. Their physiological activities in plants and some specific insects are indispensible in which they occur. The potent and versatile pharmacological activities of some naturally occurring iridoids prompted for in-depth study on their transcriptomes and metabolomes analyses to reveal the specific gene expression in their biosynthesis for utilization of these genes in biotechnological productio
