hexenol/arabidopsis

Exposure of tomato plants to volatile chemicals emitted from common cutworm (Spodoptera litura)-infested conspecifics led to accumulation of the glycoside, (Z)-3-hexenyl vicianoside. Accumulation of (Z)-3-hexenyl vicianoside in the exposed plants has adverse impacts on the performance of the common

Green leafy volatiles or isoprenoids are produced after mechanical wounding or pathogen/herbivore attacks in higher plants. We monitored expression profiles of the genes involved in defense responses upon exposing Arabidopsis thaliana to the volatiles. Among the genes investigated, those known to be

UNASSIGNED This work adds a new player, HER2, downstream of the perception of E-2-hexenal, a green leaf volatile, and shows that E-2-hexenal specifically changes the redox status of the mitochondria. It is widely accepted that plants produce and respond to green leaf volatiles (GLVs), but the

Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), which include C6 aldehydes, alcohols, and their esters, are emitted by damaged plants and are, therefore, thought to be involved in stress responses. However, the effects of GLVs on gene expression are not fully understood. Thus, the aim of the present study was to
