Plants emit an overabundance of volatile compounds, which serve their producers both as
appreciated attractants to lure beneficial animals and repellent toxins to deter pests in a …

A new, multi-threaded version of the GC–MS and LC–MS data processing software,
metAlign, has been developed which is able to utilize multiple cores on one PC. This new …

In many instances, the intensive breeding of crops over the past half century with a focus on
yield has indirectly led to reductions in flavor and nutrient content. Largely, this deterioration …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the most valuable fruit and horticultural crop species
worldwide. Compared with the fruits of their progenitors, those of modern tomato cultivars …

Volatiles from herbivore-infested plants function as a chemical warning of future herbivory
for neighboring plants.(Z)-3-Hexenol emitted from tomato plants infested by common …
