学术论文｜Characterization of four terpene synthase genes involved in nerolidol and linalool biosynthesis in Santalum album leaves induced by methyl jasmonate.

Santalum album is highly valued for its fragrant essential oil from heartwood. Volatile terpenoids involved in aroma formation in plants can be emitted in response to a variety of environmental stresses. However, the regulatory mechanisms underpinning the response of S. album to external stresses are not yet known. In this study, the regulatory mechanism of S. album leaves was investigated after the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), a stressor. Eight classes of volatile organic compounds were identified in S.…
