Brunfelsia genus is traditionally utilized in popular medicine due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties to name but a few. However, studies on the antimicrobial activity... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Plant volatiles not only have multiple defense functions against herbivores, fungi, and bacteria, but also have been implicated in signaling within the plant and toward other organ... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Plant defenses against herbivores include the emission of specific blends of volatiles, which enable plants to attract natural enemies of herbivores. We characterized a plastidial... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Volatile organic compounds emitted by plants mediate a variety of interactions between plants and other organisms. The irregular acyclic homoterpenes, 4,8-dimethylnona-1,3,7-triene... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Volatile secondary metabolites emitted by plants contribute to plant-plant, plant-fungus, and plant-insect interactions. The C(16)-homoterpene TMTT (for 4,8,12-trimethyltrideca-1,3... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Two cDNAs encoding geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) synthases from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) have been cloned and functionally expressed in Escherichia coli. LeGGPS1 was... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Biogenic volatile organic compounds are emitted into the atmosphere where they can oxidize forming compounds with lower volatilities. These low-volatility compounds can participate... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The composition and antioxidant activity of the essential oil obtained from the female cones and leaves of <i>Cupressus arizonica</i> were assessed using the DPPH assay. The total... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Contemporary analysis of the chemical composition of medicinal plants, and their biological activities, is important to find new potent therapeutic products. This study deciphers t... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Generally, odorant molecules are detected by olfactory receptors, which are specialized chemoreceptors expressed in olfactory neurons. Besides odorant molecules, certain volatile m... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Migraine is associated with peripheral and central sensitization of the trigeminal system and dysfunction of descending pain modulation pathways. Recently, dietary inclusion of gra... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Exhaled breath contains hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which offer the potential for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of diseases. As the breath research field... Read full abstract on PubMed →
