Terpenoids are a wide variety of natural products and terpene synthase (TPS) plays a key
role in the biosynthesis of terpenoids. Mentha plants are rich in essential oils, whose main …

Terpene synthases (TPS) are responsible for the terminal biosynthetic step of terpenoid
production. They are encoded by a highly diverse gene family believed to evolve by tandem …

Terpenes are organic compounds and play important roles in plant growth and development
as well as in mediating interactions of plants with the environment. Terpene synthases (TPS …

The identification, isolation and functional characterization of two genes encoding two
monoterpene synthases—γ-terpinene synthase (Tctps 2) and α-terpineol synthase (Tctps 5) …

The genus Mentha comprises a group of aromatic plants with worldwide distribution.
Because of frequent interspecific hybridization, the genetic relationships within the genus …

Terpene synthase (TPS) plays an important role in terpenoids biosynthesis. Cinnamomum
camphora (camphor tree) contains dozens of terpenoids with medicinal value, especially …

Abstract Magnolia grandiflora (Southern Magnolia) is a primitive evergreen tree that has
attracted attention because of its horticultural distinctiveness, the wealth of natural products …

Terpene synthases (TPSs) are vital for the biosynthesis of active terpenoids, which have
important physiological, ecological and medicinal value. Although terpenoids have been …

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 …

Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes are the most abundant volatiles in tea plants and have
dual functions in aroma quality formation and defense responses in tea plants. Terpene …
