Plant exudates are fluids emitted through pores or wounds that consist primarily of secondary metabolites with no physiological role for the plant. They include natural resins from plants as well as synthetic resins, and come in different forms such as gums, latex, juices, and extracts. Gums are abnormal products from trees and shrubs, latex is a milky emulsion drawn from plant bark, juices come from fruits and leaves, and extracts involve chemically or mechanically obtaining active constituents from plants for uses including food, medicine, and manufacturing materials like rubber.
