Journal ArticleDOI

(E)-β-Ocimene and Myrcene Synthase Genes of Floral Scent Biosynthesis in Snapdragon: Function and Expression of Three Terpene Synthase Genes of a New Terpene Synthase Subfamily

TL;DR: Analyses of tissue-specific, developmental, and rhythmic expression of these monoterpene synthase genes in snapdragon flowers revealed coordinated regulation of phenylpropanoid and isoprenoid scent production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding in vivo benzenoid metabolism in petunia petal tissue.

TL;DR: In vivo stable isotope labeling and computer-assisted metabolic flux analysis were used to investigate the metabolic pathways in petunia (Petunia hybrida) cv Mitchell leading from Phe to benzenoid compounds, a process that requires the shortening of the side chain by a C2 unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eugenol and isoeugenol, characteristic aromatic constituents of spices, are biosynthesized via reduction of a coniferyl alcohol ester

TL;DR: It is shown that glandular trichomes of sweet basil, which synthesize and accumulate phenylpropenes, possess an enzyme that can use coniferyl acetate and NADPH to form eugenol, and that petunia and basil phenylpropene-forming enzymes belong to a structural family of NADPH-dependent reductases that also includes pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental Regulation of Methyl Benzoate Biosynthesis and Emission in Snapdragon Flowers

TL;DR: Linear regression analysis revealed that production of methyl benzoate is regulated by the amount of benzoic acid and theamount of BAMT protein, which in turn is regulated at the transcriptional level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Circadian Methyl Benzoate Emission in Diurnally and Nocturnally Emitting Plants

TL;DR: The data clearly show that the total amount of substrate (benzoic acid) in the cell is involved in the regulation of the rhythmic emission of methyl benzoate, and suggest that similar molecular mechanisms are involved inThe regulation of methyl Benzoate production in diurnally (snapdragon) and noctURNally (tobacco and petunia) emitting plants.
