ملخص البحث

Plant enzymes are indispensable for plant metabolism and are critical determinants of the extensive chemodiversity observed in plants. These enzymes serve as primary catalysts in biosynthetic pathways, enabling the biosynthesis of a diverse range of secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, terpenes, and phenolics. These metabolites are essential for the distinctive sensory qualities of plants, e.g., flavors, scents, and colors, and they also possess significant biological activities with promising applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry. Recent scientific investigations have been devoted to unraveling the intricate biochemistry of enzymes in photosynthetic organisms, elucidating their catalytic
