Arabidopsis MYC2 Interacts with DELLA Proteins in Regulating Sesquiterpene Synthase Gene Expression[W][OA] (2012, methodology): “…(E )-b-caryophyllene synthase have been cloned from both monocots (including rice and maize [Zea mays]) and dicots (including A. annua and Arabidopsis), and all these plants emit a considerable amount of this cyclic sesquiterpene (Knudsen et al., 1993; Cai et al., 2002; Cheng et al., 2007b).”
Plant terpenoids: applications and future potentials (2008, background): “Cheng et al. (2007) discuss ecological impacts of terpenes. These include their roles above and below ground in attracting predatory species upon herbivory attack. Additionally, they point out terpenes may act as chemical messengers which influence the expression of genes involved in plant defense m”
