During the evolution of living systems and the interdependent coevolution of new metabolic and regulatory qualities some so-called secondary products have acquired a physiological role not only for intra- or inter-specific interactions of individuals (e.g. pheromones, phytoalexins etc.) but also for the interaction between cells of the producing organisms themselves (e.g. hormones and hormone-like regulatory effectors) (Ref. 1). Thus, as indicated by the pathways of biosynthesis and metabolism, the plant hormones so far... 

Plant terpenes may deter herbivores and attract pollinators. They may participate in competition among plants and may act as antibiotics, called phytoalexins, to protect plants from bacteria and fungi.84 In invertebrate animals terpenes serve as hormones, pheromones, and defensive repellants (Figs. 22-3,22-4). The terpene squalene is the precursor to sterols. Some terpenes are toxic. For example, thujone (Fig. 22-3), which is present in the liqueur absinthe, causes serious chronic poison-...
