Plant plasticity refers to a plant's ability to adapt to and cope with changes in its environment. In contrast to animals, which are able to actively move away to avoid challenges such as a predators or a changing climate, plants have acquired the ability to biosynthesize an unprecedented array of structurally complex bioactive natural compounds with specialized roles in order to cope with environmental challenges.
