Figure 1. Biosynthesis of forskolin in the root cork cells of C. forskohlii.

Figure 1.

(A) Scheme showing the structures of the diterpene precursor 13R-manoyl oxide, deacetylforskolin and forskolin on a background of root cork cells with forskolin containing oil bodies. (B) Transcript profiles of biosynthetic candidate genes in selected tissues of C. forskohlii as shown on the illustrations.

Figure 1—source data 3. Table of primers used in this study.
Construction of plasmids for expression of CfTPS2, CfTPS3, CfTPS1 is described in Andersen-Ranberg et al. (2016). U (uracil, marked in bold), represents the cleavage site, used in the USER cloning (Nour-Eldin et al., 2006).
