AsWRKY44 represses the wound-induced sesquiterpene biosynthetic gene ASS1 expression in Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2019
Agarwood is derived from wounded Aquilaria trees and is widely used in traditional medicine, incense, and perfume. Sesquiterpenes are one of the main active components in agarwood and are known to be induced by wounding or injury. The molecular mechanism

Seasonal measurements of total OH reactivity fluxes, total ozone loss rates and missing emissions from Norway spruce in 2011 [Discussion paper] [PDF]

, 2012
Numerous reactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted into the atmosphere by vegetation. Most biogenic VOCs are highly reactive towards the atmosphere's most important oxidant, the hydroxyl (OH) radical.

Seeing the Forest through the (Phylogenetic) Trees: Functional Characterisation of Grapevine Terpene Synthase (VviTPS) Paralogues and Orthologues

Plants, 2021
Gene families involved in specialised metabolism play a key role in a myriad of ecophysiological and biochemical functions. The Vitis vinifera sesquiterpene synthases represent the largest subfamily of grapevine terpene synthase (VviTPS) genes and are ...

Identification, functional characterization and developmental regulation of sesquiterpene synthases from sunflower capitate glandular trichomes

BMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background Sesquiterpene lactones are characteristic metabolites of Asteraceae (or Compositae) which often display potent bioactivities and are sequestered in specialized organs such as laticifers, resin ducts, and trichomes.

Biosynthesis of Sesquiterpenes in Basidiomycetes: A Review

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Sesquiterpenes are common small-molecule natural products with a wide range of promising applications and are biosynthesized by sesquiterpene synthase (STS). Basidiomycetes are valuable and important biological resources. To date, hundreds of related sesquiterpenoids have been discovered in basidiomycetes, and the biosynthetic pathways of some of these
