Evolution of isoprene emission in Arecaceae (palms)
16 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Isoprene synthase (IspS) is the sole enzyme in plants responsible for the yearly emission in the atmosphere of thousands of tonnes of the natural hydrocarbon isoprene worldwide. Species of the monocotyledonous family Arecaceae (palms) are among the highest plant emitters, but to date no IspS gene from this family has been identified. Here, we screened with PTR‐ToF‐MS 18 genera of the Arecaceae for...
