Volatiles mediate the interaction of plants with pollinators, herbivores and their natural
enemies, other plants and micro‐organisms. With increasing knowledge about these …

All plants synthesize a diverse array of terpenoid metabolites. Some are common to all, but
many are synthesized only in specific taxa and presumably evolved as adaptations to …

Covering: 2010 to 2023 Floral volatiles are a chemically diverse group of plant metabolites
that serve multiple functions. Their composition is shaped by environmental, ecological and …

Plant specialized terpenoids are natural products that have no obvious role in growth and
development, but play many important functional roles to improve the plant's overall fitness …

The maize W22 inbred has served as a platform for maize genetics since the mid twentieth
century. To streamline maize genome analyses, we have sequenced and de novo …
