Terpene analysis and transcript profiling of the conifer response to Heterobasidion annosum s.l. infection and Hylobius abietis feeding
… and elicit defensive responses was investigated. Terpene and transcript profiles of Scots pine to H. annosum s.s. and H. abietis challenge were studied, and a customised oligonucleotide microarray with 36.5K cDNA elements designed based on the P. taeda transcriptome was used to study the Scots …

Urinary Volatile Organic Compounds for Detection of Breast Cancer and Monitoring Chemical and Mechanical Cancer Treatments in Mice
… terpenoids, precursors of cholesterol molecules. Terpene synthesis is a descending step of mevalonate pathway suggesting its potential role in cancer pathogenesis. This thesis demonstrates the ability of urine volatilomics to indicate signaling pathways inflicted in tumors. It proposes a concept …

Pheromones in Heliconius butterflies: Chemical ecology, genetics, and behaviour
… for enzymatic activity to identify a novel terpene synthase activity in a gene family not previously known for this role. This finding suggests that terpene synthesis has evolved independently multiple times in insects. The work presented in this thesis is one of the first studies …
