L'ozone et les confères du Sud-Est de la France
TL;DR: In this article, les niveaux d'ozone mesures etaient suffisants pour causer des symptomes visibles and, probablement, pour affecter la croissance des pins etudies.

Current Understanding of Modes of Action of Multicomponent Bioactive Phytochemicals: Potential for Nutraceuticals and Antimicrobials.
TL;DR: Experiments with the model system Caenorhabditis elegans show that polyphenols and carotenoids can function as powerful antioxidative and longevity-promoting PSMs, which can be beneficial for health and the prevention of diseases.

Herbivore-induced phenylacetonitrile is biosynthesized from de novo-synthesized L-phenylalanine in the giant knotweed, Fallopia sachalinensis.
Koji Noge,Shigeru Tamogami +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that exogenous MeJA enhanced the biosynthesis of several amino acids in F. sachalinensis leaves and induced the phenylalanine, a precursor of the nitrile, which was induced by beetle feeding and exogenous airborne methyl jasmonate treatment.

Modifying expression of closely related UDP-glycosyltransferases from pea and Arabidopsis results in altered root development and function
TL;DR: It is reported that recombinant PsUGT1 expressed in vitro exhibits activity on diverse flavonoids including kaempferol, and the hypothesis that one or more members of this family, like PsugT1, is required for Arabidopsis development is examined.

Regulation of the levels of health promoting compounds: lupeol, mangiferin and phenolic acids in the pulp and peel of mango fruit: a review
TL;DR: The process of ripening, harvest maturity, physical and chemical elicitor treatments such as low temperature stress, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) and the availability of enzyme cofactors required in terpenoid biosynthesis were identified as potential determinants of the concentration of health-promoting compounds in mango fruit.
