Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) on Scots pine. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciIps typographus showed lower reproductive output in an occasional host (Pinus sylvestris) under laboratory conditions, and did not prefer its main host (Picea abies) over P. sylvestris in two‐choice bioassays. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with ...

Anaerobic Degradation of Bicyclic Monoterpenes in Castellaniella defragrans
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 ...

Seasonal measurements of total OH reactivity fluxes, total ozone loss rates and missing emissions from Norway spruce in 2011 [Discussion paper] [PDF]
, 2012 Numerous reactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted into the atmosphere by vegetation. Most biogenic VOCs are highly reactive towards the atmosphere's most important oxidant, the hydroxyl (OH) radical.

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.
