Many studies exist on magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in and on the Moon, within the last several years, that have cast into question the post-Apollo view of lunar formation, the distribution and sources of volatiles in the Earth-Moon system, and the thermal and magmatic evolution of the Moon. However, these recent observations are not the first data on lunar volatiles. When Apollo sampl...

C6 volatiles are synthesized through lipoxygenase-hydroperoxide lyase (LOX-HPL) pathway and these volatiles play important roles in the aromatic quality of grape berries. This study investigated the evolution of both C6 volatiles and the key genes in the LOX-HPL pathway in different table grape cultivars during the berry development period, and further assessed the correlation between the accum...

It is increasingly recognized that volatile organic compounds play an import role during interactions between soil microorganisms. Here, we examined the possible involvement of volatiles in the interaction of Collimonas bacteria with soil fungi. The genus Collimonas is known for its ability to grow at the expense of living fungi (mycophagy), and antifungal volatiles may contribute to the attack...

VOLATILE anesthetics are well known to have cardioprotective effects similar to those of ischemic preconditioning, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Recent evidence indicates that the protective effects of KATP channel openers may be due to action on mitochondrial KATP channels. 12–16 We have previously reported that 15 min of volatile anesthetic exposure induces mitochondrial flavoprotein oxi...

Bovine blood inoculated with bacteria isolated from screwworm [Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Diptera: Calliphoridae)]-infested animal wounds was tested as an attractant for oviposition for gravid screwworms. Eight species of gram-negative coliform (Enterobacteriaceae) bacteria mixed with bovine blood singly or all species combined and incubated for various times produced volatiles that at...

due to the abundance of the non-coking coal and limitations as well as the high costs of the natural gas, the presentstudy examined the direct reduction of hematite (iron oxide) ore in the temperature range of 800-1000 °c by thenon-coking coal volatiles. approximately, 74.9% of the total amounts of volatiles and gases exit the coal up to800°c. the onset temperature to exit volatiles from the no...

Raw turkey breasts were aerobically or vacuum-packaged, irradiated with a linear accelerator, and frozen for 0, 1.5, or 3 mo. Lipid oxidation, volatiles, color values, gas production, and oxidation-reduction potential of the samples were determined. Irradiation produced off-odor volatiles associated with lipid oxidation and sulfur-volatiles; the off-odor was much higher in aerobic packaging. Vo...

The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, vectors Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las) and Candidatus Liberibacter americanus (Lam), the presumed causal agents of huanglongbing. D. citri generally rely on olfaction and vision for detection of host cues. Plant volatiles from Allium spp. (Alliaceae) are known to repel several arthropod species. We examined the effect of garlic chive...

Plants respond to herbivory with the emission of induced plant volatiles. These volatiles may attract parasitic wasps (parasitoids) that attack the herbivores. Although in this sense the emission of volatiles has been hypothesized to be beneficial to the plant, it is still debated whether this is also the case under natural conditions because other organisms such as herbivores also respond to t...
