Floral scents and fruit aromas are crucial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in plants. They
are used in defense mechanisms, along with mechanisms to attract pollinators and seed …

Carotenoids serve diverse functions in vastly different organisms that both produce and
consume them. Enhanced carotenoid accumulation is of great importance in the visual and …

This overview compiles the actual knowledge of the biogenic emissions of some volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), ie, isoprene, terpenes, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, esters …

Many plants invest carbon to form isoprene. The role of isoprene in plants is unclear, but
many experiments showed that isoprene may have a role in protecting plants from thermal …

▪ Abstract In plants the biosynthesis of prenyllipids and isoprenoids proceeds via two
independent pathways:(a) the cytosolic classical acetate/mevalonate pathway for the …

Isoprenoids are present in all living organisms. Formally, they are derived from the branched
C5 carbon skeleton of isoprene, and the number of repetitions of this motif, cyclization …

This review is concerned with the isotopic relationships between organic compounds
produced by a single organism, specifically their enrichments or depletions in 13C relative to …

▪ Abstract Carotenoids are integral and essential components of the photosynthetic
membranes in all plants. Within the past few years, genes encoding nearly all of the …

Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) is the central intermediate in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids,
the most ancient and diverse class of natural products. Two distinct routes of IPP …

The general scheme of carotenoid biosynthesis has been known for more than three
decades. However, molecular description of the pathway in plants began only in the 1990s …
