Plants produce thousands of compounds, collectively called the metabolome, which mediate interactions with other organisms. The metabolome of an individual plant may change according to the number and nature of these interactions. We tested the hypothesis that tree diversity level affects the met...
The biogeography of tropical Andean plants and the effects of altitudinal barriers as evolutionary constraints have been the focus of great debate. Although genetic markers have provided evidence for the geographic isolation of Andean-endemic groups, even highly variable molecular markers commonl...

Small volatile molecules are considered to play a role in promoting plant growth, with acetoin and 2,3-butanediol being representative examples. In this study, we employed metabolic engineering of Bacillus subtilis to enhance the production of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol, and investigated the...
