Characterization and functional reconstruction of a highly productive germacrene A synthase from Liriodendron chinense. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Germacrene A Synthase (LcTPS3) from Liriodendron was characterized. The biosynthesis of germacrene A was achieved in a yeast chassis, and the catalytic mechanism of LcTPS3 was further elucidated. Summary Plants produce a large array of natural products which play important roles in flavours, fragrances and medicines.

Engineering storage capacity for volatile sesquiterpenes in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2018
Summary Plants store volatile compounds in specialized organs. The properties of these storage organs prevent precarious evaporation and protect neighbouring tissues from cytotoxicity.

Volatile signalling by sesquiterpenes from ectomycorrhizal fungi reprogrammes root architecture

Nature Communications, 2015
The mutualistic association of roots with ectomycorrhizal fungi promotes plant health and is a hallmark of boreal and temperate forests worldwide. In the pre-colonization phase, before direct contact, lateral root (LR) production is massively stimulated,

De novo formation of an aggregation pheromone precursor by an isoprenyl diphosphate synthase-related terpene synthase in the harlequin bug. [PDF]

, 2018
Insects use a diverse array of specialized terpene metabolites as pheromones in intraspecific interactions. In contrast to plants and microbes, which employ enzymes called terpene synthases (TPSs) to synthesize terpene metabolites, limited information ...

Volatile organic compounds emitted from fungal-rotting beech (Fagus sylvatica) [PDF]

, 2008
Chemo-communication is an important mode of interaction within ecosystem. The living organism in the ecosystem can deliver signals to conspecifics, to co-organisms, and unintentionally to their enemies, by emitting the volatile organic compounds (VOCs ...
