Journal ArticleDOI
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
Genes, enzymes and chemicals of terpenoid diversity in the constitutive and induced defence of conifers against insects and pathogens.
TL;DR: This review examines what chemicals are produced, the genes and proteins involved in their biosynthesis, how they work, and how they are regulated and how insects and their associated pathogens interact with, elicit, and are affected by conifer-produced terpenoids.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of volatile terpene biosynthesis and diurnal emission by methyl jasmonate in foliage of Norway spruce
TL;DR: The major MeJA-induced volatile terpenes appear to be synthesized de novo after treatment, rather than being released from stored terPene pools, because they are almost completely absent from needle oleoresin and are the major products of terpene synthase activity measured after MeJA treatment.
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.
