Heterologous expression of methylketone synthase1 and methylketone synthase2 leads to production of methylketones and myristic acid in transgenic plants.

Plant physiology - 1 Feb 2014

Yu Geng, Pichersky Eran

Abstract excerpt

Some plants produce methylketones as potent defense compounds against various insects. Wild tomato (Solanum habrochaites), a relative of the cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), synthesizes large amounts of 2-methylketones in its glandular trichomes, but cultivated tomato trichomes contain little or no methylketones. Two enzymes, Solanum habrochaites methylketone synthase1 (ShMKS1) and ShMKS2, are required...
