<? xm-replace_text {Heading}?> Abstract Terpenoids (isoprenoids) represent the largest
and most diverse class of chemicals among the myriad compounds produced by plants …

Some plant terpenes such as sterols and carotenes are part of primary metabolism and
found essentially in all plants. However, the majority of the terpenes found in plants are …

Plants produce a wide spectrum of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in various
tissues above and below ground to communicate with other plants and organisms. However …

Individual biotic and abiotic stresses, such as high temperature, high light and herbivore
attack, are well known to increase the emission of volatile organic compounds from plants …

Isoprene and other terpenoids are important biogenic volatile organic compounds in terms
of atmospheric chemistry. Isoprene can aid plant performance under abiotic stresses, but the …

The sessile nature of plants has resulted in the evolution of an extraordinarily diverse suite
of protective mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stresses. Though volatile isoprenoids …

In spite of initial doubts about the reality of 'talking trees', plant resistance expression
mediated by volatile compounds that come from neighboring plants is now well described …

Salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) often play distinct roles in plant defence against
pathogens. Research from Arabidopsis thaliana has established that SA‐and JA‐mediated …

The concept of “photosynthetic biofuels” envisions application of a single organism, acting
both as photo-catalyst and producer of ready-made fuel. This concept was applied upon …
