Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of plant-derived flavor compounds.
TL;DR: Modification of flavor by genetic engineering is dependent on the knowledge and availability of genes that encode enzymes of key reactions that influence or divert the biosynthetic pathways of plant-derived volatiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of the storage and biosynthesis of phenylpropenes in sweet basil.
David R. Gang,Jihong Wang,Natalia Dudareva,Kyoung Hee Nam,James E. Simon,Efraim Lewinsohn,Eran Pichersky +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that the volatile oil constituents eugenol and methylchavicol accumulate, respectively, in the peltate glands of basil lines SW and EMX-1, which serve as an excellent model system to study phenylpropene biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convergent Evolution in Plant Specialized Metabolism
Eran Pichersky,Efraim Lewinsohn +1 more
TL;DR: There are many genetic and biochemical mechanisms that can give rise to convergent evolution that are surprisingly common in plant specialized metabolism, and it is concluded that, overall, convergence evolution in plants specialized metabolism is surprisingly common.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that tomato plants transgenic for a heterologous Clarkia breweri S-linalool synthase (LIS) gene, under the control of the tomato late-ripening-specific E8 promoter, synthesize and accumulate S- linalool and 8-hydroxylinalool in ripening fruits.
Journal ArticleDOI
