Gene discovery and virus-induced gene silencing reveal branched pathways to major classes of bioactive diterpenoids in Euphorbia peplus
18 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Most macro- and polycyclic Euphorbiaceae diterpenoids derive from the common C20 precursor casbene. While the biosynthetic pathway from casbene to the lathyrane jolkinol C is characterized, pathways to other more complex classes of bioactive diterpenoids remain to be elucidated. A metabolomics-guided transcriptomic approach and a genomics approach that led to the discovery of two casbene-derived diterpenoid gene...
