Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Synergistic O_3 + OH oxidation pathway to extremely low-volatility dimers revealed in β-pinene secondary organic aerosol [PDF]
, 2018 Dimeric compounds contribute significantly to the formation and growth of atmospheric secondary organic aerosol (SOA) derived from monoterpene oxidation. However, the mechanisms of dimer production, in particular the relevance of gas- vs.

A Plant‐Based Platform for the Production of Bark Beetle Pheromones
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bark beetle species of the genera Ips and Dendroctonus represent a threat to forests in both North America and Europe. Under normal circumstances, these beetles recycle dying trees into nutrients, but under certain conditions, growing populations can overcome healthy tree defenses and cause severe economic loss in forestry.
