Why do plants produce products that have antimicrobial activity?

Because ancestral plants had mutant genes that made them produce these products, which acted to protect them from bacteria diseases, which allowed them to flourish, which allowed them to supplant rival conspecifics that lacked the genes that caused them to produce the products, and the living plants of present time inherited the genes in question from their ancestors.

What is elicitor in plants?
Elicitors are antimicrobial compounds produced in plant-pathogen interaction. When pathogen attack on the plant surface in response they produce elicitors.
What do c3 and c4 plants have in common?
C3 and C4 plants are named after the number of carbon molecules in the first products of their carbon fixation cycles. C3 plants produce 3-phosphoglycerate and C4 plants produce Oxaloacetate.
Do C3 plants produce 3-phosphoglycerate?
Yes it does. 3-phosphoglycerate is one of the early products formed during the Calvin Cycle. Which takes place in C3 reactions in plants.
Do seed plants produce rhizoids?
No, seeds plants do not produce rhizoids.
What is the importance of green plants as food producers?
The green plants perform photosynthesis and thus produce organic compounds like glucose from inorganic compounds like H2O and CO2 in their chloroplasts in the presence of light. All other food products are derivatives of photosynthetic products.

What other organisms produce the same products as plants?
animals produce energy....
What raw products do plants use to produce a substance?
water
How do you produce larger plants?
to feed it very nutrious plant food products :)

What are not made from plants?
there is no products that are not made of plants, because we use plants to make all of the products to be complete
