Molecular and functional evolution of the fungal diterpene synthase genes
19 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Terpenes represent one of the largest and most diversified families of natural compounds and are used in numerous industrial applications. Terpene synthase (TPS) genes originated in bacteria as diterpene synthase (di-TPS) genes. They are also found in plant and fungal genomes. The recent availability of a large number of fungal genomes represents an opportunity to investigate how genes involved in...
