This question is in relation to my science fair project. It is on how caffeine affects the growth and development of a plant. I feel I cannot form a decent hypothesis for this question without knowing at first how it is that caffeine is produced naturally in some plants. I have already read and re-read all questions and answers relating to caffeine and plants on this website, and have used some of that information. However, in none of the answers is it said EXACTLY how (on the molecular level perhaps) caffeine is produced in a plant, and I'd really appreciate an answer to that question.
Re: Exactly how is caffeine produced in a plant, like the cacao bean?
