Terpenes
The word 'terpene' originates from turpentine, the distillation of resin from pine trees (Pinaceae). Chemically speaking, terpenes refer to all natural compounds build up from isoprene (C5) units. Well known terpenes include myrrh from balm trees, fragrance or essential oils of herbs and roses. Biologically, terpenes function as volatile expellant of herbivores and attractant of pollinators, or less volatile bitter antifeedants. Many hormones, pheromones and signal compounds are also derived from terpenes.
