摘要

The utilization of biotechnological synthesis for phytochemicals is examined as a transformative approach across diverse sectors, including medicine, agriculture, and industry. Phytochemicals, termed secondary metabolites, hold pivotal roles in plant defense, growth regulation, and environmental interactions. Within this chapter, attention is directed toward innovative strategies addressing constraints inherent in traditional methods of phytochemical extraction, thereby necessitating the adoption of biotechnological techniques such as metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, fermentation, and plant tissue culture. Metabolic engineering entails the meticulous manipulation of genetic pathways to augment targeted phytochemical production, achieved through the elevation of enzyme expression, optimization of pathways, and the introduction of genes from distinct species. Synthetic biology introduces the construction of artificial genetic circuits, affording precise control over phytochemical synthesis.
