In many economically important plant species, the chemical composition of one or more non-protein compounds determines the value of the plant and may have an important role in protecting the plant from environmental stress, including pests, drought, salt, temperature and light. A number of potential opportunities exist whereby the range or amount of such valuable compounds can be increased by genetic engineering.
在许多具有重要经济价值的植物物种中，一种或多种非蛋白质化合物的化学成分决定了植物的价值，并且在保护植物免受环境胁迫（包括害虫、干旱、盐分、温度和光照）方面可能发挥重要作用。通过基因工程增加此类有价值化合物的范围或数量存在许多潜在机会。
