A twinberry (Lonicera involucrata) extract, as well as snow-berry (Symphoricarpas albus) and several other species of common honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.), markedly increased the TMV lesion... 

Eder is a member of the Caprifoliaceae (Honeysuckle) family. Also included in that family are honeysuckles, snowberries, twinflowers, viburnums, and weigelas. There is some discussion about giving elder its own family name, so in the future it may well be called the Sambucaceae family. Elder are mainly small trees or shrubs, yet some are climbing lianas. They all have bisexual flowers. Native to Europe, Western Asia and Northern Africa, elder is widely distributed in temperate and subtropic regions.

Uses. Because of its fine, flowery odor, hydroxydihydrocitronellal is used in large quantities in many perfume compositions for creating linden blossom and lily of the valley notes. It is also used in other blossom fragrances such as honeysuckle, lily, and cyclamen. 

Heptylcyclopentanone is used in, for example, jasmin, honeysuckle, and lavender compositions. 

Because of its stability combined with a soft floral note it has a wide use in jasmin and honeysuckle creations for, for example, body care products, soaps, and detergents. 

Honeysuckle.—This flower, also called woodbine— caprifolium perjbliatum—is of luxurious growth, and yields a delicious odor by the process of enfleurage. The poet Cowpek thus speaks of it... 

In 1978 Givaudan patented a transformation of a-ionone [127] a fermentation of Botryodiplodia theobromae IFO 6469 with a-ionone (152) yielded a mixture of compounds (155 -157) with honeysuckle aroma, Fig. (31). The same fungi which efficiently biotransformed / -ionone also transformed a-ionone [128]. As observed for /1-ionone, a-ionone (152) transformations with Lasiodiplodia theobromae ATCC 28570 also suggested an oxygenase-type enzyme system to be responsible for the degradation of the molecule by loss of one C2-unit. 

The honeysuckles are chiefly of the northern hemisphere, notably in Asia and North America. Over 100 species are valued as ornamentals.
