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

▪ Abstract In plants the biosynthesis of prenyllipids and isoprenoids proceeds via two
independent pathways:(a) the cytosolic classical acetate/mevalonate pathway for the …

Terrestrial vegetation, especially tropical rain forest, releases vast quantities of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere,,, which are removed by oxidation reactions …

▪ Abstract Very large amounts of isoprene are emitted from vegetation, especially from
mosses, ferns, and trees. This hydrocarbon flux to the atmosphere, roughly equal to the flux …

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

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

In the early times of isoprenoid research, a single pathway was found for the formation of the
C5 monomer, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), and this acetate/mevalonate pathway was …

The accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in leaves reduces photosynthetic capacity by degrading
photosynthetic pigments, reducing photosystem II activity, and producing reactive oxygen …

The localization of isoprenoid lipids in chloroplasts, the accumulation of particular
isoprenoids under high irradiance conditions, and channelling of photosynthetically fixed …

Abstract Isoprene (2-methyl-1, 3,-butadiene), produced by many woody and a few
herbaceous plant species, is the dominant volatile organic compound released from …
