Abstract:Plant secondary metabolism results from the interaction between plant and environment (life and nonlife) during a long period of evolution of plant. Secondary metabolites are very important for plant to adapt to its surrounding and to improve its abilities of protecting itself and struggling for existence. The secondary metabolites are more relative and more homologous than the first ones. The variety of environment stress tremendously affects the forming of plant secondary metabolites.The progress of study about how the environment stress affects plant secondary metabolites forming is introduced.
