PMID: 36008824
Background: It has been known for centuries that cats respond euphorically to Nepeta cataria (catnip). Recently, we have shown that Lonicera tatarica (Tatarian honeysuckle), Actinidia polygama (silver vine), and Valeriana...

PMID: 33770489
Cross-kingdom mimicry of female insect sex pheromones by sexually deceptive orchids has evolved multiple times. Fungus gnats (Diptera) are predicted to be pollinators of hundreds of sexually deceptive orchids, yet...

PMID: 33474738
Strigolactones and karrikins are butenolide molecules that regulate plant growth. They are perceived by the α/β-hydrolase DWARF14 (D14) and its homologue KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2), respectively. Plant-derived strigolactones have a butenolide...

. 2020 Mar;
11(1):1264.
PMID: 32152287
Wildfires can encourage the establishment of invasive plants by releasing potent germination stimulants, such as karrikins. Seed germination of Brassica tournefortii, a noxious weed of Mediterranean climates, is strongly stimulated...

. 2019 Nov;
59(3):1124-1128.
PMID: 31749192
Bioactive natural products underpin the intriguing pollination strategy used by sexually deceptive orchids. These compounds, which mimic the sex pheromones of the female insect, are emitted in particular blends to...

PMID: 30516986
Synthetic auxin herbicides, such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), are widely used for selective control of broadleaf weeds in cereals and transgenic crops. Although the troublesome weed wild radish ( Raphanus...

. 2018 Jul;
96(1):75-89.
PMID: 29982999
Karrikins are butenolide compounds present in post-fire environments that can stimulate seed germination in many species, including Arabidopsis thaliana. Plants also produce endogenous butenolide compounds that serve as hormones, namely...

J Chem Ecol
. 2018 Mar;
44(5):436-443.
PMID: 29549571
Sexually deceptive orchids attract specific pollinators by mimicking insect sex pheromones. Normally this mimicry is very specific and identical compounds have been identified from orchids and matching females of the...

Curr Biol
. 2017 Jun;
27(13):1867-1877.e5.
PMID: 28625782
Sexually deceptive orchids lure their specific male pollinators using volatile semiochemicals that mimic female sex pheromones. To date, the semiochemicals known to be involved consist of blends of chemically and...
