A Comprehensive Survey on the Terpene Synthase Gene Family Provides New Insight into Its Evolutionary Patterns

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Terpenes are organic compounds and play important roles in plant growth and development as well as in mediating interactions of plants with the environment.

Latitudinal resource gradient shapes multivariate defense strategies in a long‐lived shrub

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Plant defense against herbivores is multidimensional, and investment into different defense traits is intertwined due to genetic, physiological, and ecological costs. This relationship is expected to generate a trade‐off between direct defense and tolerance that is underlain by resource availability, with increasing resources being associated ...

Volatile organic compounds: plant natural defense mechanisms against herbivorous arthropods and an opportunity for plant breeding of cotton

Scientia Agropecuaria, 2018
Plants’ natural defense mechanisms against herbivorous arthropods include the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Nowadays field observations about plant-insect interactions are better understood thanks to the increasingly scientific ...

Immunotoxicity and Anti-Inflammatory Characterizations of Prenylated Flavonoids—The Lipophilic 7-O-Terpenylated Wogonin

Life, 2022
Wogonin, one of the exceptional bioactive flavonoids found abundant in the roots of Huang-Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi), is a popular health-preserving Chinese medicine. The therapeutic applications can be expanded by improving its bioavailability.

Natural fumigation as a mechanism for volatile transport between flower organs [PDF]

Nature Chemical Biology, 2019, 15 (6), pp.583-588
Plants synthesize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to attract pollinators and beneficial microorganisms, to defend themselves against herbivores and pathogens and for plant-plant communication. Generally, accumulation and emission of VOCs occur from the tissue of their biosynthesis.

Pushing the limits of concertedness. A waltz of wandering carbocations. [PDF]

, 2019
Among the array of complex terpene-forming carbocation cyclization/rearrangement reactions, the so-called "triple shift" reactions are among the most unexpected.

Production of ent-kaurene from lignocellulosic hydrolysate in Rhodosporidium toruloides. [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND:Rhodosporidium toruloides has emerged as a promising host for the production of bioproducts from lignocellulose, in part due to its ability to grow on lignocellulosic feedstocks, tolerate growth inhibitors, and co-utilize sugars and lignin ...

Arginine in the FARM and SARM: A Role in Chain-Length Determination for Arginine in the Aspartate-Rich Motifs of Isoprenyl Diphosphate Synthases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Molecules, 2018
Isoprenyl chains are found in many important metabolites. These are derived from precursors of the appropriate length produced by isoprenyl diphosphate synthases (IDSs).
