A hypothesis on the capacity of plant odorant-binding proteins to bind volatile isoprenoids based on in silico evidences

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from ‘emitting’ plants inform the ‘receiving’ (listening) plants of impending stresses or simply of their presence. However, the receptors that allow receivers to detect the volatile cue are elusive. Most likely, plants (as animals) have odorant-binding proteins (OB...
