recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology"

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.phytochem.2018.02.011

Abstract: Microbial terpene synthase-like (MTPSL) genes are a type of terpene synthase genes only recently identified in plants. In contrast to typical plant terpene synthase genes, which are ubiquitous in land plants, MTPSL genes appear to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.5c19381

Abstract: Biosynthesis of hydroxy terpenes, which possess better solubility and target-binding capability than terpene hydrocarbons, generally needs cascaded catalysis of terpene synthase (TS) and cytochrome P450 oxygenase. Interestingly, some TSs can directly generate hydroxy terpenes (mostly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-45532-1

Abstract: Fungi are successful eukaryotes of wide distribution. They are known as rich producers of secondary metabolites, especially terpenoids, which are important for fungi-environment interactions. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important mechanism contributing to genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2100361119

Abstract: 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. By investigating TPSs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhae272

Abstract: Abstract Angiosperms are prolific producers of structurally diverse terpenes, which are essential for plant defense responses, as well as the formation of floral scents, fruit flavors, and medicinal constituents. Terpene synthase genes (TPSs) play crucial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/pcp/pcaf026

Abstract: Abstract Chemically mediated floral volatile signals are crucial for pollinator attraction across angiosperms. However, beyond model plant systems, the molecular mechanisms underpinning their tissue-specific biosynthesis, regulation, and emission are still poorly understood. In this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1104/pp.19.00278

Abstract: Inoculating Medicago truncatula roots with Aphanomyces euteiches spores leads to rapid upregulation of MtTPS10 and release of sesquiterpenes that may have a defense function against this oomycete. In nature, plants interact with numerous beneficial or… read more here.
