The monoterpenes 1,8-cineole, thymol, geraniol, menthol and camphor strongly inhibited the root growth of Zea mays L. seedlings. They induced an oxidative stress as measured by the production of malondialdehyde, conjugated ...

Monoterpenes, the main constituents of essential oils, are known for their many biological activities. The present work studied the potential biological activity of twenty-seven monoterpenes, including monoterpene hydrocarbons ...

Many species of bark and ambrosia beetles use host volatiles as cues for breeding site location. In a study where the objectives were to identify the different volatiles released by Pinus taeda L. billets as they age, to ...

BACKGROUND: Oxidation products and rancid flavors decrease the sensory quality of food products, making them unacceptable to consumers. Synthetic antioxidants are used in many foods to prevent rancidity, though their safety ...

Abstract.-The in vitro leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activities of a petroleum ether extract of Oxandra espintana have been investigated. Four aromatic monoterpenes were isolated, of which two are novel: espintanol ...

Examination of six samples of the red alga P. cartilagineum collected along 1600 km of Central Chilean coast yielded a number of polyhalogenated monocyclic monoterpenes. Acyclic compounds were not found. Two common compounds ...

Terpenes are thought to be important in plantYplant interactions because of their phytotoxic action on seed germination and growth. Herein, the effects of five volatile monoterpenes on root sterols and phospholipid fatty ...
