Monoterpenes of Salvia leucophylla [PDF]
Current Bioactive Compounds, 2012 The " Salvia phenomenon" is one of the most famous examples of allelopathic interaction between higher plants. The Salvia thickets are surrounded by zones of bare soil ("bare zone", 1-3 m in width), which merge into areas of inhibited grassland ("zone of inhibition") and finally undisturbed grassland at a distance of 3-9 m.

Anaerobic Degradation of Bicyclic Monoterpenes in Castellaniella defragrans [PDF]
Metabolites, 2018 The microbial degradation pathways of bicyclic monoterpenes contain unknown enzymes for carbon–carbon cleavages. Such enzymes may also be present in the betaproteobacterium Castellaniella defragrans, a model organism to study the anaerobic monoterpene ...

Antibacterial and Oxidative Stress-Protective Effects of Five Monoterpenes from Softwood
Molecules, 2022 Volatile organic compounds (VOC) affect the quality of indoor air. Terpenes and especially monoterpenes are the main molecules emitted from softwood material (coniferous species), which is widely used in construction. The corneal epithelium is one of the

Microbial monoterpene transformations—a review [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Isoprene and monoterpenes constitute a significant fraction of new plant biomass. Emission rates into the atmosphere alone are estimated to be over 500 Tg per year. These natural hydrocarbons are mineralized annually in similar quantities. In the atmosphere, abiotic photochemical processes cause lifetimes of minutes to hours.

Monoterpene regulation of Ras and Ras-related protein expression
Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 Monoterpenes, derived primarily from plants, are products of the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway and function as chemical messengers with diverse functions. The biochemical bases for these activities are largely undefined.
