Isoprenoid Metabolism and Engineering in Glandular Trichomes of Lamiaceae. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2021 The isoprenoids play important ecological and physiological roles in plants. They also have a tremendous impact on human lives as food additives, medicines, and industrial raw materials, among others. Though some isoprenoids are highly abundant in nature, plants produce many at extremely low levels.
