The family of terpene synthases in plants: a mid‐size family of genes for specialized metabolism that is highly diversified throughout the kingdom
Some plant terpenes such as sterols and carotenes are part of primary metabolism and
found essentially in all plants. However, the majority of the terpenes found in plants are …

Plant defense against herbivores: chemical aspects
A Mithöfer, W Boland - Annual review of plant biology, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Plants have evolved a plethora of different chemical defenses covering nearly all classes of
(secondary) metabolites that represent a major barrier to herbivory: Some are constitutive; …

The evolutionary context for herbivore-induced plant volatiles: beyond the 'cry for help'
Attacks by herbivores elicit changes in the bouquet of volatiles released by plants. These
herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) have been interpreted as being indirect defenses …

Abiotic stresses and induced BVOCs
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 …

Multiple stress factors and the emission of plant VOCs
Individual biotic and abiotic stresses, such as high temperature, high light and herbivore
attack, are well known to increase the emission of volatile organic compounds from plants …

The specificity of herbivore-induced plant volatiles in attracting herbivore enemies
Plants respond to herbivore attack by emitting complex mixtures of volatile compounds that
attract herbivore enemies, both predators and parasitoids. Here, we explore whether these …

A unified mechanism of action for volatile isoprenoids in plant abiotic stress
The sessile nature of plants has resulted in the evolution of an extraordinarily diverse suite
of protective mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stresses. Though volatile isoprenoids …
