The family of terpene synthases in plants: A mid-size family of genes for specialized metabolism that is highly diversified throughout the kingdom
TL;DR: The terpene synthases (TPSs) as mentioned in this paper are a family of enzymes responsible for the synthesis of various terpenes from two isomeric 5-carbon precursor molecules, leading to 5-carbinear isoprene, 10-carbon monoterpenes, 15-carbon sesquiterpenes and 20-carbenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terpene synthases and the regulation, diversity and biological roles of terpene metabolism.
TL;DR: Structural diversity and complexity of terpenes generates an enormous potential for mediating plant-environment interactions and engineering the activities of terpene synthases provides opportunities for detailed functional evaluations of terPene metabolites in planta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practical approaches to plant volatile analysis
Dorothea Tholl,Wilhelm Boland,Armin Hansel,Francesco Loreto,Ursula S. R. Röse,Jörg-Peter Schnitzler +5 more
TL;DR: These include headspace analyses of plant VOCs emitted by the whole organism, organs or enzymes as well as advanced on-line analysis methods for simultaneous measurements of VOC emissions with other physiological parameters.
Book ChapterDOI
Biosynthesis and biological functions of terpenoids in plants
TL;DR: This chapter gives an overview and highlights recent advances in the understanding of the organization, regulation, and diversification of core and specialized terpenoid metabolic pathways, and addresses the most important functions of volatile and nonvolatile terpenoids specialized metabolites in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methyl Jasmonate Induces Traumatic Resin Ducts, Terpenoid Resin Biosynthesis, and Terpenoid Accumulation in Developing Xylem of Norway Spruce Stems
TL;DR: The induction of a complex defense response in Norway spruce by methyl jasmonate application provides new avenues to evaluate the role of resin defenses for protection of conifers against destructive pests such as white pine weevils, bark beetles, and insect-associated tree pathogens.
