Monstera acuminata a tree trunk, it uses its ageotropic anchoring roots to grow vertically. The adult plant appears similar to that of "Monstera deliciosa" and these leaves are developed when the plant reaches 15 feet and is an example of an example of dimorphism. The leaves are smooth or papillose stem 2-3.5 cm thick with internodes 6–11 cm long. After it grows upwards, the base of the stem of the hemiepiphyte dies and rots, thereby losing its connection to the soil. Monstera acuminata Monstera acuminata, or shingle plant, is a species of flowering plant from Araceae family which is widespread from Mexico
Plant secondary metabolism in which it seems useful in seed dormancy phase. To get a better understanding of how secondary metabolites play a big role in plant defense mechanisms we can focus on the recognizable defense-related secondary metabolites, cyanogenic glycosides. The compounds of these secondary metabolites (As seen in Figure 1) are found in over 2000 plant species. Its structure allows the release of cyanide, a poison produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae that is found in numerous plants. Animals and humans possess the ability to detoxify cyanide from their systems naturally. Therefore, cyanogenic glycosides can be used for positive benefits in
