- Abstract
- Compilation and analysis of existing inventories reveal that isoprene is emitted byc. 20% of the
perennial vegetation of tropical and temperate regions of the world. Isoprene emitters are found
across different plant families without any clear phylogenetic thread. However, by critically
appraising information in inventories, several ecological patterns of isoprene emission can be
highlighted, including absence of emission from C4and annual plants, and widespread emission
from perennial and deciduous plants of temperate environments. Based on this analysis, and on
available information on biochemistry, ecology and functional roles of isoprene, it is suggested
that isoprene may not have evolved to help plants face heavy or prolonged stresses, but rather
assists C3plants to run efficient photosynthesis and to overcome transient and mild stresses,
especially during periods of active plant growth in warm seasons. When the stress status persists,
or when evergreen leaves cope with multiple and repeated stresses, isoprene biosynthesis is
replaced by the synthesis of less volatile secondary compounds, in part produced by the same
biochemical pathway, thus indicating causal determinism in the evolution of isoprene-emitting
plants in response to the environment. (literal)
