Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways within a cell or an organism. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of secondary metabolism, the chemical reactions and pathways involving compounds that are not necessarily required for growth and maintenance of cells, and are often unique to a taxon. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways within a cell or an organism. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the innate immune response, the organism's first line of defense against infection. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the immune response, the immunological reaction of an organism to an immunogenic stimulus. Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens. The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the innate immune response, the organism's first line of defense against infection. Any process that affects the rate, extent or location of the melanization defense response during injury or invasion. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a defense response. The blackening of the wounded area of the cuticle or the surface of invading pathogens, parasites or parasitoids, resulting from a proteolytic cascade leading to the de novo synthesis and deposition of melanin. The chemical reactions and pathways involving melanins, pigments largely of animal origin. High molecular weight polymers of indole quinone, they are irregular polymeric structures and are divided into three groups: allomelanins in the plant kingdom and eumelanins and phaeomelanins in the animal kingdom. Any process that increases the rate or extent of the melanization defense response during injury or invasion.
