Regulation of isoprenoid metabolism in Lavandula

这项研究将提高我们对类异戊二烯或萜类天然产物的生产的理解，也被称为次生或专门代谢物，在植物中。类异戊二烯包含超过30000种生化化合物，在植物的生长、发育和生态中起着至关重要的作用。它们在工业上也非常重要，作为功能性食品、化妆品、卫生产品、药品和生物燃料等的关键成分，影响着人类的生活。鉴于萜类化合物的生理作用和工业重要性，人们对了解控制它们在植物中产生的分子、生化和细胞机制非常感兴趣。特别是，植物体内类异戊二烯代谢和储存的调控机制尚不清楚。拟议的研究重点是对精油（EO）成分(单萜和倍半萜；C

This research will improve our understanding of the production of the isoprenoid, or terpenoid, class of natural products, also known as secondary or specialized metabolites, in plants. The isoprenoids encompass over 30,000 biochemical compounds that play crucial roles in the growth, development and ecology of plants. They are also industrially very significant and impact human lives as key constituents of functional foods, cosmetics, hygiene products, medicines, and biofuels, among others. Given the physiological roles and industrial importance of the terpenoids, there is considerable interest in understanding the molecular, biochemical and cellular mechanisms that control their production in plants. In particular, regulation of isoprenoid metabolism and storage in plants is poorly understood. The proposed studies focus on the regulation of the production of essential oil (EO) constituents (mono- and sesquiterpenes; the C
