The chemotype core collection of genus Nicotiana
SUMMARYSustainable production of chemicals and improving these biosources by engineering metabolic pathways to create efficient plant‐based biofactories relies on the knowledge of available chemical/biosynthetic diversity present in the plant. Nicotiana species are well known for their amenability towards transformation and other new plant breeding ...

Essential Oil Polymorphism of Hungarian Common Thyme ( Willd.) Populations
The volatile oil compositions of Thymus glabrescens Willd. from eight different localities of Hungary were analyzed by GC/MS. Significant essential oil polymorphism was found: eight new chemovarieties may have been determined, representing a way of ...

Generalism in Nature…The Great Misnomer: Aphids and Wasp Parasitoids as Examples
In the present article we discuss why, in our view, the term ‘generalism’ to define the dietary breadth of a species is a misnomer and should be revised by entomologists/ecologists with the more exact title relating to the animal in question

Essential Oil Polymorphism of Wild Growing Hungarian Thyme () Populations in the Carpathian Basin
The volatile oil compositions of Thymus pannonicus All. from nineteen different localities of Hungary were analyzed by GC/MS. The essential oil content of the Hungarian thyme samples varied between very low (0.14 mL/100 g DW) and fairly high (1.9 mL/100 ...

Diverse Inhibitor Chemotypes Targeting Trypanosoma cruzi CYP51 [PDF]
Chagas Disease, a WHO- and NIH-designated neglected tropical disease, is endemic in Latin America and an emerging infection in North America and Europe as a result of population moves. Although a major cause of morbidity and mortality due to heart failure, as well as inflicting a heavy economic burden in affected regions, Chagas Disease elicits scant ...
