The variability in Salix BVOC emissions and possible consequences for managed SRC plantations [PDF]
Willow (Salix spp.) trees have been used commercially since the 1980s to produce renewable energy. Some benefits with these trees are that they can clean soil from heavy metals, reduce the risk of nutrient leakage and eutrophication.

Terpenes in Essential Oils: Bioactivity and Applications [PDF]
Secondary metabolites from plant organisms have always been excellent options for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Essential oils are a type of metabolites found in vegetables, and their chemical composition is diverse; however ...

Natural products‐based antiangiogenic agents: New frontiers in cancer therapy
Natural products, in synergy with classic antineoplastic drugs, enhance cancer therapy by targeting multiple signaling pathways involved in tumor angiogenesis. This combined approach reduces cancer cell proliferation and migration while promoting apoptosis.

ABSTRACT The unimolecular reactions of protonated myrcene and linalool were investigated by collision‐induced dissociation and density functional theory calculations. Experiments on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer showed that protonated myrcene undergoes two major unimolecular reactions losing propene and isobutene, and two minor reactions of ...

Secondary metabolites in Gerbera hybrida [PDF]
Plants produce a diversity of secondary metabolites, i.e., low-molecular-weight compounds that have primarily ecological functions in plants. The flavonoid pathway is one of the most studied biosynthetic pathways in plants.

Secondary Metabolites in Cyanobacteria [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of photosynthetic bacteria found in marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats. Secondary metabolites are produced by cyanobacteria enabling them to survive in a wide range of environments including those which are ...

Summary Diversification of plant chemical phenotypes is typically associated with spatially and temporally variable plant–insect interactions. Floral scent is often assumed to be the target of pollinator‐mediated selection, whereas foliar compounds are considered targets of antagonist‐mediated selection.

Terpenoid emissions of two mediterranean woody species in response to drought stress [PDF]
Drought is a major environmental constrain affecting plant performance and survival, particularly in Mediterranean ecosystems. Terpenoids may play a protective role under these conditions, however, observations of drought effects on plant terpenoid ...

Engineered poplar for bioproduction of the triterpene squalene
Summary Building sustainable platforms to produce biofuels and specialty chemicals has become an increasingly important strategy to supplement and replace fossil fuels and petrochemical‐derived products. Terpenoids are the most diverse class of natural products that have many commercial roles as specialty chemicals.

A Review on Phytochemical Investigation on the Stem Bark of Croton Macrostachyus [PDF]
The Croton macrostachyus is used for the treatment of malaria, venereal diseases, cough, diabetes, constipation, tape worms and hepatitis. The dichloromethane extract of the stem bark of Croton macrostachyus was afforded two Terpenoids: the compound with
