My Way: Noncanonical Biosynthesis Pathways for Plant Volatiles

Integrated analysis of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) toxicity in isoprenoid-producing Escherichia coli

“…Researchers studying "cross-talk" between these two pathways have identified IPP as a likely candidate for exchange between the plastid and cytosol, however no plastidmembrane components capable of prenyl diphosphate transport have been identified (Lipko and Swiezewska, 2016). IP has also been highlighted as a potential "exchangeable" intermediate between the plastid and cytosol (Sun et al, 2016), and here, too, we see evidence of transport in E. coli. Extracellular IP was detected in strain 3Amk and the comparably "healthy" strain 3A,…”

The role of volatiles in plant communication

“…See (Sørensen et al ., ) for a recent review. In addition to these canonical VOC biosynthetic pathways occasionally unexpected biosynthetic solutions appear in the literature, showing how immensely intricate volatile biosynthesis has evolved (Sun et al ., ). The enzyme responsible for geraniol biosynthesis in rose, for example, turned out not to be a monoterpene synthase but a Nudix hydrolase (a diphosphohydrolase) (Magnard et al ., ).…”

A Sense of Place: Transcriptomics Identifies Environmental Signatures in Cabernet Sauvignon Berry Skins in the Late Stages of Ripening

“…Terpenes mostly originate from the grapes and are found 17 in both the free and bound (glycosylated) forms. Both plant fatty acid and 18 terpenoid metabolism pathways are very sensitive to the environment [9][10][11][12][13]. 19…”
