Long-term dynamics of monoterpene synthase activities, monoterpene storage pools and emissions in boreal Scots pine [PDF]
Seasonal variations in monoterpene emissions from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) are well documented, and emissions are often shown to follow the incident temperatures due to effects on compound volatility.

α-Terpineol, a natural monoterpene: A review of its biological properties
Terpineols are monocyclic monoterpene tertiary alcohols which are naturally present in plant species. There are five common isomers of terpineols, alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta- and terpinen-4-ol, of which α-terpineol and its isomer terpinen-4-ol are the ...

Isolation and Characterization of Three New Monoterpene Synthases from Artemisia annua
Artemisia annua, an annual herb used in traditional Chinese medicine, produces a wealth of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, including the well-known sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin, an active ingredient in the treatment for malaria.

Onset of photosynthesis in spring speeds up monoterpene synthesis and leads to emission bursts
Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) by boreal evergreen trees have strong seasonality, with low emission rates during photosynthetically inactive winter and increasing rates towards summer.
