Diterpenoid Diversity across Land Plants
Here we bridge the knowledge of diterpene chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and evolution from nonvascular mosses and liverworts to that known from vascular plants. ABSTRACT The diverse array of diterpenoid natural products stems from the ease of manipulating the promiscuity of diterpene cyclases.

Perfluorodecalin-supported system enhances taxane production in hairy root cultures of Taxus x media var. Hicksii carrying a taxadiene synthase transgene [PDF]
Enhanced taxane production was observed in a hybrid, two liquid phases containing, cultures of Taxus x media var. Hicksii hairy root carrying a taxadiene synthase transgene, supported with liquid perfluorodecalin (PFD) in degassed or aerated form. The hairy root cultures were elicited with methyl jasmonate (MJ, 100 μM) or coronatine (COR, 1 μM), and ...

Sobralene, a new sex-aggregation pheromone and likely shunt metabolite of the taxadiene synthase cascade, produced by a member of the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis specied complex [PDF]
A new sex-aggregation pheromone, sobralene, produced by the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis from Sorbral (Ceara State, Brazil) is shown to have the novel 6,12-membered ring-fused diterpene structure 3.

Cloning of taxadiene synthase gene into Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia-0)
Paclitaxel (Taxol), a complex diterpenoid, produced by yew tree (Taxus sp.) is the most important chemotherapeutic agent that is widely used against a variety of malignancies such as ovarian and breast cancers. However, destructive methods for its production from natural resources together with currently used low-yielding industrial production systems ...

Paclitaxel production and PAL activity in hairy root cultures of Taxus x media var. Hicksii carrying a taxadiene synthase transgene elicited with nitric oxide and methyl jasmonate [PDF]
The role of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10 μM), a nitric oxide (NO) donor, and/or methyl jasmonate (MJ, 100 μM) spiked with l-phenylalanine (PHEN, 100 μM) and additional sucrose (S; 30 g l−1), in taxane production and phenyl ammonia lyase (PAL) activity in cultures of two Taxus media x var.
