Gibberellins are produced by all vascular plants and several fungal and bacterial species
that associate with plants as pathogens or symbionts. In the 60 years since the first …

The year 2017 marks the twentieth anniversary of terpenoid cyclase structural biology: a trio
of terpenoid cyclase structures reported together in 1997 were the first to set the foundation …

As a midsized gene family conserved more by lineage than function, the typical plant
terpene synthases (TPSs) could be a valuable tool to examine plant evolution. TPSs are …

All plants synthesize a diverse array of terpenoid metabolites. Some are common to all, but
many are synthesized only in specific taxa and presumably evolved as adaptations to …

Terpenoids comprise tens of thousands of small molecule natural products that are widely
distributed across all domains of life. Plants produce by far the largest array of terpenoids …

<? xm-replace_text {Heading}?> Abstract Terpenoids (isoprenoids) represent the largest
and most diverse class of chemicals among the myriad compounds produced by plants …

Some plant terpenes such as sterols and carotenes are part of primary metabolism and
found essentially in all plants. However, the majority of the terpenes found in plants are …

The terpenoids constitute the largest class of natural products and many interesting products
are extensively applied in the industrial sector as flavors, fragrances, spices and are also …

In plant terpene biosynthesis, oxidation of the hydrocarbon backbone produced by terpene
synthases is typically carried out by cytochrome P450 oxygenases (CYPs). The …

Analysis of the updated reference tomato genome found 34 full‐length TPS genes and 18
TPS pseudogenes. Biochemical analysis has now identified the catalytic activities of all …
