Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: The present study connects the genetic diversity of Cistus creticus to its chemical profile, identifying elite genotypes and key biosynthetic genes for enhancing the production of valuable labdane diterpenes. Cistus creticus, a Mediterranean shrub, is known for its resin ladano, which is rich in pharmacologically active labdane-related diterpenes (LRDs). However, the genetic and molecular basis...
