Aldehydes are ubiquitous pollutants with well-indicated but ill-defined cardiovascular toxicity. To investigate the direct toxic effects of environmental aldehyde exposure on the myocardium, 8-wk-old male ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) strain mice were gavage fed trans-2-hexenal (0.1, 1, 10, or

Green leaf volatiles (GLV), a series of saturated and monounsaturated six-carbon aldehydes, alcohols, and esters are emitted by plants upon mechanical damage. Evidence is increasing that intact plants respond to GLV by activating their own defense mechanisms, thus suggesting that they function in

Plant volatiles induced by insect feeding are known to attract natural enemies of the herbivores. Six maize inbred lines that showed distinctly different patterns of volatile emission in laboratory assays were planted in randomized plots in the Central Mexican Highlands to test their ability to

Volatile formation is an inevitable result of lipid oxidation, which impact the quality of lipid rich foods. In this study, moisture role on the formation of volatiles were evaluated using deuterium oxide (D2O) and possible steps of moisture involvement were suggested. Moisture content in corn oil

Responses of the tachinid fly Exorista japonica Townsend to odors from corn plants infested with the fly's host, the larvae of the noctuid moth Mythimna separata (Walker), were examined in a wind tunnel. Naïve female flies showed a higher rate of landing on M. separata-infested corn plants from

Fusarium infection of maize leaves and/or roots through the soil can stimulate the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is also well known that VOC emission from maize plants can repel or attract pests. In our experiments, we studied VOC induction responses of Zea mays L. ssp. mays cv.

Early colonization by Zyginidia scutellaris leafhoppers might be a key factor in the attraction and settling of generalist predators, such as Orius spp., in maize fields. In this paper, we aimed to determine whether our observations of early season increases in field populations of Orius spp.

Flavour is a special way to discriminate extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) from other aroma plant oils. In this study, different ratios (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 70 and 100%) of peanut oil (PO), corn oil (CO) and sunflower seed oil (SO) were discriminated from raw EVOO using flavour fingerprint,

The volatile chemicals produced by four poaceous plant species, blue thatching grass, Hyparrhenia tamba, Napier grass, Pennisetum purpureum, sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, and maize, Zea mays, which are host plants for the lepidopterous stemborers, Chilo partellus and Busseola fusca, were collected by

Green plants emit green leaf volatiles (GLVs) as a general damage response. These compounds act as signals for the emitter plant, neighboring plants, and even for insects in the ecosystem. However, when oral secretions from certain caterpillars are applied to wounded leaves, GLV emissions are
