Terpene synthase (TPS) genes were isolated and functionally characterized from three traditional edible plants, Acanthopanax sciadophylloides ("Koshiabura") and Acanthopanax sieboldianus ("Himeukogi"), belonging to the family Araliaceae, and Curcuma zedoaria (zedoary, "Gajutsu"), belonging to the
Metabolic module, gene expression pattern and PLS modeling were integrated to precisely identify the terpene synthase responsible for sesquiterpene formation. Functional characterization confirmed the feasibility and sensitivity of this strategy. Plant secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathway
The essential oils of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) contain a large variety of terpenoids, some of which possess anticancer, antiulcer, and antioxidant properties. Despite their importance, only four terpene synthases have been identified from the Zingiberaceae family:
