Biosynthesis of plant isoprenoids: perspectives for microbial engineering.

Annual review of plant biology - 1 Jan 2009

Kirby James, Keasling Jay D

Abstract excerpt

Isoprenoids are a large and highly diverse group of natural products with many functions in plant primary and secondary metabolism. Isoprenoids are synthesized from common prenyl diphosphate precursors through the action of terpene synthases and terpene-modifying enzymes such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. Many isoprenoids have important applications in areas such as human health and nutrition, and much...
