In a recent study, researchers from China have developed a light-driven in vitro enzymatic system to produce α-farnesene, a useful natural terpenoid, from methanol. By optimizing and coupling thirteen ...

Terpenoids are responsible for the unique aroma of cannabis. These compounds are lipophilic, can permeate lipid membranes, and several are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier after inhalation.

The knowledge of the production of countless chemical compounds by plants generates great expectations and concrete possibilities so that in the not too distant future, science can make available new ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered the switch in plants that turns off production of terpenoids, compounds that play roles in plant physiology and are used by humans in everything from ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto are shining a spotlight on medicinal plants like cannabis, Pacific yew and deadly carrot, paving the way for future research on the most promising plant-based ...
