Research Advance on the Biosynthesis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Plant

doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2015.04.003

Abstract

Abstract: Plant volatile organic compounds(VOCs)are closely correlative to production and life of human beings. In agriculture, plant volatile organic compounds play important roles in attracting pollinators, defending against biotic and abiotic stress, mediating the exchange of information between plants, giving fruit special scents. In this review, the biosynthesis of terpenoids, phenylpropanoids/benzenoids, fatty acid derivatives and amino acid derivatives were introduced, works and methods in the future were put forward, in an attempt to providing useful information for further studies in the field.

Key words: volatile organic compounds, biosynthesis, metabolism, plant
