Leaf carotenoid concentrations and monoterpene emission capacity under acclimation of the light reactions of photosynthesis
Factors controlling the seasonal dynamics (days-weeks) in leaf monoterpene emission capacity are not yet well understood. Volatile isoprenoids, such as monoterpenes, and higher isoprenoids such as carotenoids share the initial steps of their synthesis pathways, therefore, interaction between the poo...

Factors controlling the seasonal dynamics (days-weeks) in leaf monoterpene emission capacity are not yet well understood.
