Biogenic volatile isoprenoids – climate change and plant protection

A lecture titled “Biogenic Volatile Isoprenoids - Climate Change and Plant Protection. Interrelationships and Consequences” was delivered by Corr. Memb. Violeta Velikova from the Institute of Plant Physiology and Genetics of BAS. The lecture took place as part of the academic seminar “Current Issues in Science” on June 18 in the “Prof. Marin Drinov” Hall at BAS. What biogenic volatile isoprenoids are, why we should be interested in them, and how our knowledge of them could be used for the benefit of society were just some of the questions addressed in the lecture. On a global scale, plants release enormous amounts of volatile organic compounds equivalent to about 1,300 Tg of carbon per year, and these emissions are about 10 times greater than total anthropogenic [...]
