Congrats Mio, to this nice chapter of your PhD thesis.

Localized Response of De Novo Terpenoid Emissions Through the Jasmonate Signaling Cascade in Two Main European Tree Species

The systemically induced production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in undamaged tissues of plants under herbivore attack is still not fully understood, particularly with respect to below- and a....
