Abstract: In this chapter, chemical ontogeny is presented as a central axis for understanding the dynamics of specialized metabolism throughout plant development. Initially, the genetic, physiological, and environmental factors that influence metabolite production during different stages of plant development are discussed, highlighting the qualitative and quantitative variations observed in the chemical profile. Next, the main analytical approaches employed in the investigation of these metabolites are presented, including chromatographic and spectrometric techniques, as well as metabolomic strategies and chemometric tools used in the organization and interpretation of complex datasets. Finally, the chapter discusses the implications of chemical ontogeny studies in natural products, highlighting their importance for applications in areas such as pharmacognosy, chemotaxonomy, chemophenetic and the discovery of bioactive compounds.
