Isoprenoids, the largest family of natural products, play numerous vital roles in basic plant processes, including photosynthesis, growth and development, reproduction, plant defense, and adaptation to environmental conditions (Gershenzon and Kreis, 1999; Rodriguez-Concepcion and Boronat, 2002). All isoprenoids are synthesized via the condensation of the fivecarbon universal isoprenoid precursors, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and its allylic isomer dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP; McGarvey and Croteau, 1995). In higher plants, two independent pathways located in separate intracellular compartments are involved in the biosynthesis of IPP and DMAPP (see current model for plant isoprenoid pathways compartmentalization in Fig. 1). In the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway, which is referred to as the cytosolic pathway, biosynthesis of IPP/DMAPP starts from the condensation of acetyl-CoA (Qureshi and Porter, 1981; Newman and Chappell, 1999), whereas in plastids, IPP/DMAPP are formed from pyruvate and glyceraldehyde-3-P via the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP; or non-mevalonate) pathway (Lichtenthaler et al., 1997, 1999; Eisenreich et al., 1998, 2001; Rohmer, 1999). Initial research indicated that the MVA-pathway-derived pool of IPP/DMAPP serves as a precursor of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP; C15) and, ultimately, the sesquiterpenes, triterpenes, and sterols, whereas the plastidic MEP-pathwayderived pool of IPP/DMAPP provides the precursors of geranyl diphosphate (C10), geranylgeranyl diphosphate (C20), and, ultimately, the monoterpenes, diterpenes, and tetraterpenes. Although the subcellular compartmentalization of MVA and MEP pathways allows them to operate independently, metabolic cross talk between these two pathways was recently implied (Bick and Lange, 2003; Hemmerlin et al., 2003; Laule et al., 2003; Schuhr et al., 2003; Dudareva et al., 2005; Hampel et al., 2005).Regulation of plant isoprenoid biosynthetic pathways, the control of flux, and the channeling of intermediates are issues of major interest but still not well understood. Flux of the MVA pathway appears to be tightly regulated. Data obtained mainly from mammalian systems, but also from plant systems, suggest that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) is a rate-limiting enzyme, which is posttranslationally regulated by feedback-inhibition mechanisms (Chappell et al., 1995; Gardner and Hampton, 1999). A major enigma, specific for plants, concerns the differential channeling of the MVA pathway flux between the two pathway branches, one leading to sesquiterpenes and the other to sterols. Several bodies of evidence support the notion that FPP, which is positioned at the branch point between sterol and sesquiterpenes, is available mainly for sterol biosynthesis (Hartmann, 2003), which is required in every cell, while its availability for sesquiterpene biosynthesis is limited to specific physiological conditions (ie pathogen attack) and/or to specific tissues (ie essential oil glands).(1) In healthy tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants and tobacco-derived cell culture, sesquiterpenes, including the phytoalexin capsidiol, are almost undetectable, but are produced to significant levels only following exposure to pathogens or elicitation (Chappell and Nable, 1987; Vogeli and Chappell, 1988).(2) Constitutive overexpression in tobacco of a nonregulated form of HMGR (lacking the N-terminal membrane anchor) resulted in a 3-to 10-fold increase in total sterol levels but no increase in sesquiterpene levels (Chappell et al., 1995).(3) Constitutive overexpression of citrus valencene synthase (Sharon-Asa et al., 2003) in transgenic tobacco did not result in synthesis of …
