DOI: 10.1002/pi.6096
Abstract: The terpene‐based monomers and polymers reported in the literature are mostly hydrophobic and this is limiting their use in aqueous environments. To address this drawback, we have developed a novel synthetic strategy to functionalise a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00253-019-10103-x
Abstract: Ophiobolins (ophs) are characteristic 5-8-5 tricyclic sesterterpenes with potential pharmaceutical activities. Ophiobolin synthase is a bifunctional terpene synthase (BTS) that catalyzes both chain elongation and cyclization. In Aspergillus ustus 094102, ophiobolin accumulation was involved with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2019.125101
Abstract: Terpenes and their derivatives, terpenoids, are important biomarkers of grape quality as they contribute to flavor and aroma of grape and wine. The evolution of terpene and terpenoids throughout grapevine phenological development cycles is not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.2c06831
Abstract: Terpene volatiles define the flavor of terpenic grape cultivars. However, grape terpene concentrations can vary 2- to 3-fold across seasons and vineyards, impacting vintage quality. The plant hormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) stimulates grape terpene production… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2sc02994d
Abstract: The aromatic polyketide 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid (DMOA) serves as a precursor for many fungal meroterpenoids. A large portion of DMOA-derived meroterpenoids are biosynthesized via the cyclization of (6R,10′R)-epoxyfarnesyl-DMOA methyl ester (1). Theoretically, although 1 can be… read more here.
