Rice contains a biosynthetic gene cluster associated with production of the casbane‐type diterpenoid phytoalexin ent ‐10‐oxodepressin

Abstract excerpt

Diterpenoids play important roles in rice microbial disease resistance as phytoalexins, as well as acting in allelopathy and abiotic stress responses. Recently, the casbane-type phytoalexin ent-10-oxodepressin was identified in rice, but its biosynthesis has not yet been elucidated. Here ent-10-oxodepressin biosynthesis was investigated via co-expression analysis and biochemical characterisation, with use of the...
