Molecular cloning and characterization of terpene synthase 4 (SgTPS4) gene from Salvia guaranitica plant [electronic resource]

Includes bibliographic reference

Terpenoid is considered the largest group of natural products and a class of secondary metabolites, which have been identified from different plant species and many other organisms with more than 40,000 different structures (Bohlmann et al., 1998). Terpenoid derives its shape from odd backbone molecule called isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), which have five carbon atoms (C5) (Wang et al., 2019 and Volke et al., 2019). The origin name of these different structures comes from the terebinth tree (Pistacia terebinthus), so we give these different structures names of terpene (Degenhardt et al., 2009). The structure of
these units was illustrated by Wallach then modified by Ruzicka (Wallach, 1887; Ruzicka, 1953; 1959; 1973 and Pott et al., 2019).
