Functional divergence of principal alcohol o-acyltransferase for biosynthesis of volatile acetate esters among tomato wild species (Solanum Sect. Lycopersicon).

Abstract excerpt

Volatile esters are the chemicals that have multiple physiological functions including plant defense responses and reproduction. From a human perspective, the esters largely contribute to the fruity aroma of freshy fruits. Composition of volatile esters show a significant diversity among the wild tomato species (Solanum sect. Lycopersicon). To address the basis for this divergence, here we conducted functional...
