essential-oils
Essential oils are hydrophobic volatile organic compounds extracted from plant material that carry the characteristic fragrance or essence of the source plant. In plant science, they are studied for their roles in plant defense, pollinator attraction, and stress response, as well as for understanding the biosynthetic pathways — such as the terpenoid and phenylpropanoid routes — that produce these compounds. Research into essential oils also informs breeding, agronomy, and phytochemistry efforts aimed at optimizing the yield and composition of aromatic crops.
