Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play many roles including defense against pathogens,
pests, and herbivores; response to environmental stresses, and mediating organismal …

Covering: 2010 to 2023 Floral volatiles are a chemically diverse group of plant metabolites
that serve multiple functions. Their composition is shaped by environmental, ecological and …

All plants synthesize a diverse array of terpenoid metabolites. Some are common to all, but
many are synthesized only in specific taxa and presumably evolved as adaptations to …

Plant specialized terpenoids are natural products that have no obvious role in growth and
development, but play many important functional roles to improve the plant's overall fitness …

As sessile organisms, plants evolved elaborate metabolic systems that produce a plethora of
specialized metabolites as a means to survive challenging terrestrial environments …

Flowers at times host abundant and specialized communities of bacteria and fungi that
influence floral phenotypes and interactions with pollinators. Ecological processes drive …

Plants are constantly exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are released
during plant-plant communication, within-plant self-signaling, and plant-microbe …

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

Terpenoids are one of the essential plant metabolites which are known to play vital roles in
plants' primary growth and development including protection from biotic and abiotic stresses …

Leaves and flowers are colonized by diverse bacteria that impact plant fitness and evolution.
Although the structure of these microbial communities is becoming well-characterized …
