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 …

Background Some, but not all, plants emit isoprene. Emission of the related monoterpenes is
more universal among plants, but the amount of isoprene emitted from plants dominates the …

▪ 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 mechanism uncoupling isoprene emission and photosynthesis under drought was
investigated in Populus alba saplings.• Isoprene emission, incorporation of 13C into the …

Boreal forests emit a large amount of monoterpenes into the atmosphere. Traditionally these
emissions are assumed to originate as evaporation from large storage pools. Thus, their …

We present a physiological model of isoprene (2‐methyl‐1, 3‐butadiene) emission which
considers the cost for isoprene synthesis, and the production of reductive equivalents in …

Isoprene synthase converts dimethylallyl diphosphate, derived from the methylerythritol 4-
phosphate (MEP) pathway, to isoprene. Isoprene is made by some plants in substantial …

Isoprene is an aviation fuel of high quality and an important polymer building block in the
synthetic chemistry industry. In light of high oil prices, sustained availability, and …

We present a new European plant-specific emission inventory for isoprene, monoterpenes,
sesquiterpenes and oxygenated VOC (OVOC), on a spatial resolution of 0.089× 0.089 …

For the first time, the complete functional gene for isoprene synthase has been isolated from
poplar (Populus alba× Populus tremula). The gene was quite similar to known limonene and …
