Producing chemicals is the primary way plants cope and thrive in diverse environments. Countless studies have examined the ingenious ways plants use chemistry, sometimes as direct weapons and other times as signals. This Special Issue provides some of the most recent developments in the study of plant chemical defenses. Our editorial team surveyed broad areas of research covering both basic and applied plant sciences. Subjects extended from single molecules to organisms and evolution, as well as areas involving responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, using either model or non-model plant species. Of these, 20 insightful articles were chosen and are presented here grouped into nine reviews and eleven primary research articles.Schenck and Busta (2021) begins with a discussion of comparative and phylogeny-guided studies to understand metabolic pathways and the evolution of specialized metabolism. Highlights include the power of such approaches in the backdrop of exponentially increasing multi-omics data, especially in many intractable non-model species. A review by Deng et al.(2021) showcases the application of phylogenetic reconstructions for the independent evolution of phenolic sucrose esters in monocots and dicots. While more detailed studies are needed to understand their biological functions, the inducibility of those compounds through pathogens and stress-related phytohormones strongly imply their involvement in defense. Shoji et al.(2021) reviews efforts to use information gathered from large sets of genomics data to investigate how domestication has contributed to the evolution of defense metabolites. There is evidence that mutations in transcriptional regulators form the molecular basis for many cases of metabolite elimination.
