Plant tissues may show chemical changes following herbivory. In aromatic plants such changes could affect the specific compounds on which commercial exploitation is based. This possibility was analyzed for Mintosthachys ...

Phytochemical induction of monoterpenes following herbivory by insects and mechanical damage, was studied in Minthostachis mollis (Lamiaceae), a plant native to central Argentina withe medicinal and aromatic uses in the ...

Aphid genotype has been shown to be a source of variability in the induction of phytochemical responses in wheat after aphid infestation as well as in their performance on wheat lines. Two clones of the aphid Sitobion ...

Plant defensive mechanisms against herbivores include chemical changes following damage. Effects of feeding punctures produced by Liriomyza huidobrensis (pea leafminers) adult females on the plant’s dominant monoterpenes, ...

We evaluated fruit availability, phytochemical characteristics and mineral content of R. rubiginosa L. rose hips, at two experimental sites in San Luis province: Potrero de los Funes-El Volcán (PF-V) and Estancia Grande ...

Soybean cultivation (Glycinemax (L.) Merril) presents great importance in the Brazilian economy and worldwide, however, the high number of pests and diseases in this crop brings significants losses in production. The ...

In prostate cancer, flavonoids possess a wide variety of anticancer effects, focused on the antioxidant/pro-oxidant activity, inactivation of the androgen receptor, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, metastasis ...
