Trichomes, hair-like projections on leaves, of wild tobacco contain acyl sugars, which are composed of sucrose, bound to branched chain aliphatic acids. Hatched caterpillars consume these sweet ...

Knowing that trichomes are supposed to be defensive structures, replete with poisons and sticky substances, the researchers were surprised to observe that freshly hatched Manduca sexta larvae as well ...

Figure 1: Substrate-dependent mixed hydroxylase/desaturase reactivity of non-haem iron catalysts with aliphatic C–H bonds. Figure 2: Double-oxidation products arise ...

Aliphatic acids—hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid on one end—are everywhere. But unfortunately, they’re not much use to synthetic chemists. The saturated chain has only two carbon atoms that ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The influence of soil pH (4.3 to 7.5) on the phytotoxicity of herbicides incorporated into high organic soils was studied. Phytotoxicity ...

In the past 10-15 years, visible-light photoredox catalysis has become part of the mainstream synthetic toolbox in organic synthesis and its implementation for industrial-scale manufacturing process ...

This release is available in German. Trichomes, hair-like projections on leaves, are part of a plant's defense against herbivores: they can be obstacles, traps, or reservoirs for toxic substances. The ...
