Repression of ZCT1, ZCT2 and ZCT3 affects expression of terpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthetic and regulatory genes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) include several valuable pharmaceuticals. As Catharanthus roseus remains the primary source of these TIA pharmaceuticals, several research groups have devoted substantial efforts to increase production of these compounds

Identification of target genes of the bZIP transcription factor OsTGAP1, whose overexpression causes elicitor-induced hyperaccumulation of diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phytoalexins are specialised antimicrobial metabolites that are produced by plants in response to pathogen attack. Momilactones and phytocassanes are the major diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice and are synthesised from geranylgeranyl diphosphate, which is
