In the coming century, climate change and the increasing human population are likely
leading agriculture to face multiple challenges. Agricultural production has to increase while …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in general and herbivory-induced plant volatiles
(HIPVs) in particular are increasingly understood as major mediators of information transfer …

Seven parameters of the headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) for extracting
volatile compounds from cabbage were optimized comprehensively for the first time. A total …

In this assessment we summarise advances in our knowledge of how UV-B radiation (280–
315 nm), together with other climate change factors, influence terrestrial organisms and …

Plants have to cope with a plethora of biotic stresses such as herbivory and pathogen
attacks throughout their life cycle. The biotic stresses typically trigger rapid emissions of …

Sage is an important medicinal and aromatic plant. While Salvia officinalis and S.
miltiorrhiza have been widely studied, little information regarding S. dolomitica exists …

The sessile plant has developed mechanisms to survive the “rough and tumble” of its natural
surroundings, aided by its evolved innate immune system. Precise perception and rapid …

When trees within forests increase their dimension, the limitation of space (and thus
resources) can cause competition-based mortality. Thus, growth and mortality interact, and …

Salvia sinaloensis Fern.(sage) is a medicinal plant containing plant secondary metabolites
(PSMs) with antioxidant properties. The current study investigated the effects of drought …

Heat stress interrupts physiological thermostability and triggers biochemical responses that
are essential for plant survival. However, there is limited knowledge on the speed plants …
