Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive Oxygen Species, Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidative Defense Mechanism
TL;DR: The oxidation of linoleates and cholesterol is discussed in some detail and the deleterious effects caused by the lipid peroxidation products are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant defense using toxic inorganic ions: conceptual models of the defensive enhancement and joint effects hypotheses.
TL;DR: These hypotheses suggest how hyperaccumulator plants may have evolved in response to plant-herbivore interactions, and suggest that toxic element levels below those used to definehyperaccumulation may be ecologically effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient availability and the effect of increasing UV-B radiation on secondary plant compounds in Scots pine
TL;DR: It can be suggested that the induction of secondary compounds in the flavonoid pathway is multi-step regulated by both environmental factors, UV-radiation and nutrients.

Production and Diversity of Volatile Terpenes from Plants on Calcareous and Siliceous Soils: Effect of Soil Nutrients
TL;DR: Findings suggest that Pinus halepensis may respond to an environment characterized by increasing soil deposition, by allocating carbon resources to the synthesis of terpene defense metabolites without growth reduction, as well as possible ecological explanations on the effect of soil type for these latter two species.
