Abstract
Benzenoids/phenylpropanoids, the second most diverse group of plant volatiles, exhibit significant structural diversity and play crucial roles in attracting pollinators and protecting against pathogens, insects, and herbivores. This review summarizes their complex biosynthetic pathways and regulatory mechanisms, highlighting their links to plant growth, development, hormone levels, circadian rhythms, and flower coloration. External factors like light, humidity, and temperature also influence their biosynthesis. Their ecological value is discussed, offering insights for enhancing floral scent, pollinator attraction, pest resistance, and metabolic engineering through genetic modification.
