Arabidopsis thaliana plants produce beta-cyclocitral when attacked by herbivores. This volatile signal inhibits the MEP pathway which is instrumental in plant growth processes, such as the production ...

Isoprenoid biosynthesis is a fundamental metabolic process that produces a vast array of naturally occurring compounds essential for cellular structure and function. In most eukaryotes, the mevalonate ...

Terpenoids represent the most diverse class of specialized metabolites in plants, yet they originate from just two simple precursors—isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) ...
