Journal ArticleDOI
Monoterpene and sesquiterpene synthases and the origin of terpene skeletal diversity in plants.
TL;DR: This review covers the monoterpene and sesquiterpene synthases presenting an up-to-date list of enzymes reported and evidence for their ability to form multiple products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and Chemical Biology of Terpenoid Cyclases.
TL;DR: Key advances in terpenoid cyclase structural and chemical biology are reviewed, focusing mainly on ter penoid cyclases and related prenyltransferases for which X-ray crystal structures have informed and advanced the authors' understanding of enzyme structure and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic costs of terpenoid accumulation in higher plants.
TL;DR: The metabolic costs of terpenoids accumulation in plants in the light of recent advances in terpenoid biochemistry are explored in relation to the assumptions and predictions of several current theories of plant defense, including the carbonnutrient balance hypothesis, the growth-differentiation balance hypotheses, and the resource availability hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Organization of Plant Terpene Synthases and Molecular Evolutionary Implications
S Trapp,Rodney Croteau +1 more
TL;DR: A model presented for the evolutionary history of plant terpenoid synthases suggests that this superfamily of genes responsible for natural products biosynthesis derived from terpene synthase genes involved in primary metabolism by duplication and divergence in structural and functional specialization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trichothecene biosynthesis in Fusarium species: chemistry, genetics, and significance.
TL;DR: It is indicated that production of trichothecenes can enhance the severity of disease caused by Fusarium species on some plant hosts, and genetic evidence that several trICHothecene biosynthetic genes are organized in a gene cluster is discussed.
