Anthropogenic monoterpenes aggravating ozone pollution
National Science Review, 2022 Monoterpenes have been known to have a critical influence on air quality and climate change through their impact on the formation of fine particles. Here we present field evidence that monoterpene oxidations largely enhanced local ozone production in a ...

bioRxiv, 2021 Outbreaks of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) have decimated millions of hectares of conifer forests in Europe in recent years. The ability of these 3-6 mm long insects to kill mature trees over a short period has been ascribed to two ...

Evolving a generalist biosensor for bicyclic monoterpenes
bioRxiv, 2021 Prokaryotic transcription factors can be repurposed as analytical and synthetic tools for precise chemical measurement and regulation. Monoterpenes encompass a broad chemical family that are commercially valuable as flavors, cosmetics, and fragrances ...

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.

Chiral monoterpenes reveal forest emission mechanisms and drought responses
Nature, 2021 Monoterpenes (C10H16) are emitted in large quantities by vegetation to the atmosphere (>100 TgC year−1), where they readily react with hydroxyl radicals and ozone to form new particles and, hence, clouds, affecting the Earth’s radiative budget and ...

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.

Selected Monocyclic Monoterpenes and Their Derivatives as Effective Anticancer Therapeutic Agents
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Terpenes—a diverse group of secondary metabolites—constitute the largest class of natural products abundant in almost every plant species. The properties of concrete terpenes and essential oils have been intensively studied due to their widespread use in

Monoterpenes and Their Derivatives—Recent Development in Biological and Medical Applications
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Monoterpenes, comprising hydrocarbons, are the largest class of plant secondary metabolites and are commonly found in essential oils. Monoterpenes and their derivatives are key ingredients in the design and production of new biologically active compounds.

A Toolbox for Diverse Oxyfunctionalisation of Monoterpenes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe successful implementation of synthetic biology for chemicals biosynthesis relies on the availability of large libraries of well-characterized enzymatic building blocks. Here we present a scalable pipeline that applies the methodology of synthetic biology itself to bootstrap the creation of such a library.

Metabolism of Monoterpenes [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1985 l-Menthone of peppermint leaves is reduced to d-neomenthol which is glucosylated and transported to the rhizome, whereupon the beta-d-glucoside is hydrolyzed, the aglycone oxidized back to l-menthone, and this ketone converted to l-3,4-menthone lactone.
