• Boosting Immune Function and Disease Bio-Control Through Environment-Friendly and Sustainable Approaches in Finfish Aquaculture: Herbal Therapy Scenarios (2020, background): “A plants SM skeleton contains several polar and non-polar functionally reactive groups; including aldehyde and SH-groups, epoxides, double bonds with non-configuration, and triple bonds; which can form through covalent bonds with proteins, peptides, and sometimes DNA (Wink 2005, 2008, 2012).”
• Macroevolution and the biological diversity of plants and herbivores (2009, background): “Many classes of compounds seem to have evolved repeatedly from widely shared biosynthetic pathways, suggesting that fairly minor changes in gene regulation may be entailed (31, 32), and some authors have suggested that many plant compounds may be derived either directly or by lateral gene transfer f”
• Modes of Action of Herbal Medicines and Plant Secondary Metabolites (2015, background): “Thousands of structurally differing secondary metabolites have apparently evolved during plant development as a means for plants to defend themselves against herbivores and against bacteria, fungi and viruses [21–30].”
• Fungal endophytes: unique plant inhabitants with great promises (2011, background): “The compound was also reported from members of other plant families including Icacinaceae (Nothapodytes foetida, Pyrenacantha klaineana, Merrilliodendron megacrapum), Rubiaceae (Ophiorrhiza pumila, Ophiorrhiza mungos), Apocynaceae (Ervatamia heyneana), and Gelsemiaceae (Mostuea brunonis) (Wink 2008)”
• Evolution of secondary metabolites in legumes (Fabaceae) (2013, unknown): “A convergent trait could also be due to endophytic fungi, which produce a number of secondary metabolites on their own (review in Wink, 2008a).”
• Fungal endophytes from higher plants: a prolific source of phytochemicals and other bioactive natural products (2010, background): “It is speculated by some authors that the patchy distribution of this alkaloid was originally caused by endophytes through infection of the respective plants or gene transfer (Wink 2008).”
• BIOCHEMISTRY, PHYSIOLOGY AND ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF SECONDARY METABOLITES (2010, background): “These properties make these mixtures even more powerful as means of defence and protection than mono-target substances (Wink, 2008a,b).”
• Chemical ecology in coupled human and natural systems: people, manioc, multitrophic interactions and global change (2010, background): “1985), generated by a geographically widespread class of allelochemicals, cyanogenic glycosides (Jones 1998; Wink 2008).”
