Volatile organic compounds are important mediators of mutualistic interactions between
plants and their physical and biological surroundings. Volatiles rapidly indicate competition …

Various abiotic stresses lead to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in
plants which are highly reactive and toxic and cause damage to proteins, lipids …

Plants suffering from abiotic stress are commonly facing an enhanced accumulation of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) with damaging as well as signalling effects at organellar and …

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 …

A list of 1719 chemical compounds identified from headspace samples of floral scent is
presented. The list has been compiled from some 270 published papers, including analyses …

Volatile compounds act as a language that plants use for their communication and
interaction with the surrounding environment. To date, a total of 1700 volatile compounds …

Plants have a penchant for perfuming the atmosphere around them. Since antiquity it has
been known that both floral and vegetative parts of many species emit substances with …

Terpene synthases are the primary enzymes in the formation of low-molecular-weight
terpene metabolites. Rapid progress in the biochemical and molecular analysis of terpene …

Plants are sessile organisms and dependent on deployment of secondary metabolites for
their response to biotic and abiotic challenges. A trade-off is envisioned between resources …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds produced by plants are involved in plant growth,
development, reproduction and defence. They also function as communication media within …
