Plant secondary metabolites (SMs) are not only a useful array of natural products but also an
important part of plant defense system against pathogenic attacks and environmental …

This overview compiles the actual knowledge of the biogenic emissions of some volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), ie, isoprene, terpenes, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, esters …

The magnitudes, distributions, controlling processes and uncertainties associated with North
American natural emissions of oxidant precursors are reviewed. Natural emissions are …

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is one of the most prominent air pollution problems in Europe and
other countries worldwide. Human health is affected by O3 via the respiratory as well the …

Our aim in this study was to determine how well phenotypic variation in foliar concentrations
of carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs) in woody plants can be predicted on the …

Nonmethane hydrocarbons are ubiquitous trace atmospheric constituents yet they control
the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere. Both anthropogenic and biogenic processes …

The monoterpene composition (emission and tissue internal concentration) of major forest
tree species in the United States is discussed. Of the 14 most commonly occurring …

The seasonal pattern of terpene content and emission by seven Mediterranean woody
species was studied under field conditions. Emission rates were normalized at 30° C and …

We propose that variation in the responses of carbon-based secondary compounds to
fertilization in woody plants has a biosynthetic cause. The synthesis of phenylpropanoids …

Several volatile allelochemicals were identified and characterized from fresh leaf tissue of
three distinct populations of the invasive perennial weed, mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). A …
