Volatile organic compounds (VOC) play important roles in atmospheric chemistry, plant ecology, and physiology, and biogenic VOC (BVOC) emitted by plants is the largest VOC source. Our knowledge about how environmental drivers (e.g., carbon, light, and temperature) may regulate BVOC emissions is
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play an important role as ligand-transfer filters in olfactory recognition in insects. (E)-β-farnesene (EBF) is the main component of the aphid alarm pheromone and could keep aphids away from crops to prevent damage. Computational insight into the molecular binding
Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are important in insect olfactory recognition. These proteins bind specifically to insect semiochemicals and induce their seeking, mating, and alarm behaviors. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to provide computational insight into
Abnormal multiplication of oral bacteria causes dental caries and dental plaque. These diseases continue to be major public health concerns worldwide, mainly in developing countries. In this study, the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Vitex agnus-castus leaves
The class I terpenoid cyclase epi-isozizaene synthase (EIZS) utilizes the universal achiral isoprenoid substrate, farnesyl diphosphate, to generate epi-isozizaene as the predominant sesquiterpene cyclization product and at least five minor sesquiterpene products, making EIZS an ideal platform for
Citrus aroma and flavor, chief traits of fruit quality, are derived from their high content in essential oils of most plant tissues, including leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. Accumulated in secretory cavities, most components of these oils are volatile terpenes. They contribute to defense
