PY - 2014 DA - 2014/10/11 TI - Terpene synthases and their contribution to herbivore-induced volatile emission in western balsam poplar (Populus trichocarpa) JO - BMC Plant Biology SP - 270 VL - 14 IS - 1 AB - As a response to caterpillar feeding, poplar releases a complex mixture of volatiles which comprises several classes of compounds. Poplar volatiles have been reported to function as signals in plant-insect interactions and intra- and inter-plant communication. Although the volatile blend is dominated by mono- and sesquiterpenes, there is much to be learned about their formation in poplar.
