Snapdragon flowers emit two monoterpene olefins, myrcene and (E)-β-ocimene, derived
from geranyl diphosphate, in ad-dition to a major phenylpropanoid floral scent component …

Terpenoids emitted from snapdragon flowers include three monoterpenes derived from
geranyl diphosphate (GPP), myrcene,(E)‐β‐ocimene and linalool, and a sesquiterpene …

Constitutive and induced terpenoids are important defense compounds for many plants
against potential herbivores and pathogens. In Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) …

The Arabidopsis genome project has recently reported sequences with similarity to
members of the terpene synthase (TPS) gene family of higher plants. Surprisingly, several …

Grand fir (Abies grandis) is a useful model system for studying the biochemistry, molecular
genetics, and regulation of defensive oleoresin formation in conifers, a process involving …

Arabidopsis is emerging as a model system to study the biochemistry, biological functions,
and evolution of plant terpene secondary metabolism. It was previously shown that the …

Citrus limon possesses a high content and large variety of monoterpenoids, especially in the
glands of the fruit flavedo. The genes responsible for the production of these monoterpenes …

Grand fir (Abies grandis) has been developed as a model system for studying defensive
oleoresin formation in conifers in response to insect attack or other injury. The turpentine …

Volatile terpenoids released from different plant parts play crucial roles in pollinator
attraction, plant defense, and interaction with the surrounding environment. Two distinct …

Compounds of the terpenoid class play numerous roles in the interactions of plants with their
environment, such as attracting pollinators and defending the plant against pests. We show …
