TLDR
The results show that NPP-derived terpenoids can be produced in plant tissues; however, NPP has to be consumed to avoid negative impacts on plant metabolism.About:

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
Systems Metabolic Engineering Strategies: Integrating Systems and Synthetic Biology with Metabolic Engineering
TL;DR: Current trends in systems metabolic engineering including tools and strategies are reviewed, focusing on recent developments in selection of host strains, metabolic pathway reconstruction, tolerance enhancement, and metabolic flux optimization.

Plant Glandular Trichomes: Natural Cell Factories of High Biotechnological Interest
TL;DR: In this review, recent advances regarding terpene metabolic engineering are highlighted, with a special focus on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum).
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of volatiles in plant communication
TL;DR: Volatiles mediate the interaction of plants with pollinators, herbivores and their natural enemies, other plants and micro‐organisms and can be used to design and apply volatile‐based agricultural strategies.

Plant Metabolic Engineering Strategies for the Production of Pharmaceutical Terpenoids
Xu Lu,Kexuan Tang,Ping Li +2 more
TL;DR: Overexpressing terpenoids biosynthesis pathway genes in homologous and ectopic plants is an effective strategy to enhance the yield of pharmaceutical terpenoid drugs and global regulation which includes regulating the relative transcription factors, endogenous phytohormones and primary metabolism could also markedly increase their yield.

The promoter of TL-DNA gene 5 controls the tissue-specific expression of chimaeric genes carried by a novel type of Agrobacterium binary vector
TL;DR: It was found that the gene 5 promoter is active in a tissue-specific fashion whereas this is not the case for the NOS promoter, providing the first documented instance of a gene derived from a procaryotic host the expression of which is apparently regulated by plant growth factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The function of terpene natural products in the natural world.
TL;DR: It is striking how phylogenetically distant organisms have come to use similar structures for common purposes in terpenes, and new natural roles undoubtedly remain to be discovered for this large class of compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The formation and function of plant volatiles: perfumes for pollinator attraction and defense
TL;DR: The rapid progress in elucidating the biosynthetic pathways, enzymes, and genes involved in the formation of plant volatiles allows their physiology and function to be rigorously investigated at the molecular and biochemical levels.

Simple Method for Simultaneous Determination of Chlorophyll and Carotenoids in Tomato Fruit
Masayasu Nagata,Ichiji Yamashita +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to solve the problem of the lack of information in the context of a large number of nodes. But they did not specify how to find the optimal nodes.

TL;DR: The leaf disc transformation/regeneration system was modified for tomato and evidence for both single and multi-copy insertions of the T-DNA is found, and inheritance of theT-DNA insert in the expected Mendelian ratios is demonstrated.
