Terpenoids play vital roles in plant ecology-from repelling pests to attracting pollinators-and are produced by terpene synthases (TPSs) enzymes. These enzymes are unique for their fused domain ...
A new study has revealed the existence of bifunctional diterpene cyclases/synthases (DCSs) in bacteria, offering compelling evidence that the plant terpene synthase gene family, termed TPS, originated ...
