Abstract
A plethora of chemically diverse natural compounds are derived from medicinal plants to treat various ailments. Plants can produce several classes of secondary metabolites via various biotic and abiotic stress stimulants. In the rhizosphere, plants, and fungi interact in several ways that reflect the chemical composition of living organisms. The fungi can secrete certain biomolecules, called inducers, stimulants, or most commonly called elicitors. These biochemicals bind to receptors present in plant cells and help to synthesize specialized metabolites. The use of metabolomics in the plants and fungi associations for secondary metabolites will serve as a potential gold mine to supply quality products according to industrial standards. Therefore, this chapter aims at presenting the important aspects of plant-fungi interactions, with special emphasis on the biosynthesis of bioactive molecules. In addition, the possible use of metabolomics in plant and fungal interactions has also been discussed.
