Secondary metabolites in Gerbera hybrida [PDF]

, 2008
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.

Terpenoid emissions of two mediterranean woody species in response to drought stress [PDF]

, 2018
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 ...

Phytochemical Profile and Assessment of In Vivo Anti‐Inflammatory Efficacy of Ficus sycomorus L. (Moraceae) Extracts in Mice

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Inflammation helps the immune system identify and eliminate disease‐causing and foreign stimuli and initiate the healing process. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs have been often used in treating inflammation. Synthetic drugs have been associated with severe effects, necessitating the need for alternative medicinal agents.

Natural products‐based antiangiogenic agents: New frontiers in cancer therapy

Food Frontiers, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 2423-2466, November 2024.
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.

The variability in Salix BVOC emissions and possible consequences for managed SRC plantations [PDF]

, 2021
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.

Where You Protonate Matters: Deciphering the Unimolecular Chemistry of Protonated Myrcene and Linalool

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 59, Issue 10, October 2024.
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 ...

Integration of attractive and defensive phytochemicals is unlikely to constrain chemical diversification in a perennial herb

New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 1, Page 249-264, October 2024.
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.

Engineered poplar for bioproduction of the triterpene squalene

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 22, Issue 8, Page 2301-2311, August 2024.
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.
