CYP82G1 Enzyme Functions as Chromone Hydroxylase in the Biosynthesis of 6-Hydroxy-2-(2-Phenylethyl)chromone in Aquilaria sinensis. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Aquilaria sinensis, a plant of the genus Aquilaria in the family Thymelaeaceae, can form resinous and fragrant agarwood in response to wounding or infection. The resin physically occludes xylem vessels and ray parenchyma, limiting pathogen mobility and resource loss.

Aquilaria sinensis MYB-Like Transcription Factor AsMYB1 Promotes 2-(2-Phenylethyl)Chromone Biosynthesis Through Interacting With 14-3-3 Family Protein AsGRF1. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT 2‐(2‐Phenylethyl)chromones (PECs) are the primary constituents of agarwood, a valuable aromatic resin widely used in traditional oriental medicine and incense production, exhibiting diverse pharmacological activities. While we have previously reported a polyketide synthase (AsPECPS) playing a crucial role in the biosynthesis of PECs in ...

Identification of a diarylpentanoid-producing polyketide synthase revealing an unusual biosynthetic pathway of 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones in agarwood

Nature Communications, 2022
2-(2-Phenylethyl)chromones (PECs) contribute to the distinctive fragrance of agarwood. Here the authors identify a diarylpentanoid-producing polyketide synthase from Aquilaria sinensis and show how it catalyzes PEC formation.
