Update on Biochemistry of Plant Volatiles Biochemistry of Plant Volatiles

Plants have a penchant for perfuming the atmosphere around them. Since antiquity it has been known that both floral and vegetative parts of many species emit substances with distinctive smells. The discovery of the gaseous hormone ethylene 70 years ago brought the realization that at least some of the compounds emitted may have physiological significance without any distinctive smell to humans....

Biochemistry of Locusts

migratoria migratorioide8 R. & F.) and in the eyes of Dro8ophila melanoga8ter (wild) andEphe8tia kilhniella have been investigated. 2. The pigments cannot be distinguished from each other. As the redox pigments reported in other insects also appear indistinguishable from our pigment, it is proposed that this widespread insect pigment be termed insectorubin. 3. Insectorubin has been isolated as ...

A Textbook of Biochemistry

(page 62) we are told that both hyaline and white fibrous cartilage enter into the formation of a joint, but nowhere is cartilage of any type described. Again (page 6) the single sentence under the heading, Formation of Bone, viz., "the replacement of cartilage by bone cells," must have been inserted more for the purpose of reviving the memory than for the description of a process. The section ...
