Isoprene Responses and Functions in Plants Challenged by Environmental Pressures Associated to Climate Change

The functional reasons for isoprene emission are still a matter of hot debate. It was hypothesized that isoprene biosynthesis evolved as an ancestral mechanism in plants adapted to high water availability, to cope with transient and recurrent oxidative stresses during their water-to-land transition....
