how would you go about testing for food consumption of plant 'a's secondary metabolism. Let's say you wanted to do some type of genetic engineering, or just possibly enhancement, of a plant producing caffiene.
many sources say alkaloid producing plants produce these alkaloids under their 'secondary' metabolism. Would you have to reproduce a cell growth mass under some type of protein feeding to 'REDUCE' the life to a more primative state? you could probably study a lot of things with these alkaloid producing plants like coffee or coca or cannabis or whatever if this was possible.
yes? no? i appreciate your response
