Artemisia argyi is an important medicinal plant widely utilized for moxibustion heat therapy in China. The terpenoid biosynthesis process in A. argyi is speculated to play a key role in conferring its
In plants, a family of terpene synthases (TPSs) is responsible for the biosynthesis of terpenes and contributes to species-specific diversity of volatile organic compounds, which play essential roles
Terpenes synthases typically form complex molecular scaffolds by concerted activation and cyclization of linear starting materials in a single active site. We have determined that iridoid synthase, an
Azadirachta indica (neem), an evergreen tree of the Meliaceae family, is a source of the potent biopesticide azadirachtin. The lack of a chromosome-level assembly impedes an in-depth understanding of
