Sesquiterpenoids Lactones: Benefits to Plants and People

TL;DR: The varied ecological roles of sesquiterpenes in the plant producer, depending upon the plant and the compound are explored, including allelopathy with other plants, insects, and microbes, thereby causing behavioural or developmental modification to these secondary organisms to the benefit of the sesqiterpenoid producer.

Chemical Constituents of Hepaticae
