Terpene Synthases and Terpene Variation in Cannabis sativa [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2020 Abstract Cannabis (Cannabis sativa) resin is the foundation of a multibillion dollar medicinal and recreational plant bioproducts industry. Major components of the cannabis resin are the cannabinoids and terpenes. Variations of cannabis terpene profiles contribute much to the different flavor and fragrance phenotypes that affect consumer

Exploring novel bacterial terpene synthases.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Terpenes are the largest class of natural products with extensive structural diversity and are widely used as pharmaceuticals, herbicides, flavourings, fragrances, and biofuels. While they have mostly been isolated from plants and fungi, the availability

Decoding Catalysis by Terpene Synthases
ACS Catalysis, 2023 The review by Christianson, published in 2017 on the twentieth anniversary of the emergence of the field, summarizes the foundational discoveries and key advances in terpene synthase/cyclase (TS) biocatalysis (Christianson, D. W.

Origin and early evolution of the plant terpene synthase family
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance Land plants produce numerous terpenoids that regulate development and mediate environmental interactions. Thus, how typical plant terpene synthase (TPS) genes originated and evolved to create terpenoid diversity is of fundamental interest ...

Modular terpene synthesis enabled by mild electrochemical couplings
Science, 2022 The synthesis of terpenes is a large field of research that is woven deeply into the history of chemistry. Terpene biosynthesis is a case study of how the logic of a modular design can lead to diverse structures with unparalleled efficiency.

Ancient plant-like terpene biosynthesis in corals
Nature Chemical Biology, 2022 Octocorals are major contributors of terpenoid chemical diversity in the ocean. Natural products from other sessile marine animals are primarily biosynthesized by symbiotic microbes rather than by the host.

High-performing organic electronics using terpene green solvents from renewable feedstocks
Nature Energy, 2022 There is a growing need for sustainable and green solvent processing of organic optoelectronics. Now Corzo et al. show that terpene solvents in a binary formulation enable device performance on par with that of more toxic solvents. Accelerating the shift

Expanding the terpene biosynthetic code with non-canonical 16 carbon atom building blocks
Nature Communications, 2022 Humankind relies on specialized metabolites for medicines, flavors, fragrances, and numerous other valuable biomaterials. However, the chemical space occupied by specialized metabolites, and, thus, their application potential, is limited because their ...
