Fig. 4. Biosynthesis of volatile terpenoid in lavender.

Fig. 4

a There are four steps required to produce diverse terpenoids. Enzymes involved at each step of the volatile terpenoid biosynthesis pathway are shown in blue, and intermediates are shown in black. Relative expression profiles of genes implicated in volatile terpenoid biosynthesis among various tissues (LAR, root; LAS, stem; LAL, leaf; LAF, flower; LAGT, glandular trichome) are presented as heatmaps (cyan–purple scale). Copy number variations of genes involved in volatile terpenoid biosynthesis in the ten plant species (from left to right: Lang, Sspl, Tgra, Smil, Sbai, Sind, Slyc, Hann, Rchi, and Atha) are shown in orange font. bd Phylogeny of TPS subfamilies (b), CYP450 clans (c), and BAHD subfamilies (d) in lavender based on protein sequences. The gene numbers clustered into one category are indicated in green font. e Ks values and duplication/divergence times of genes involved in terpenoid biosynthesis in lavender. f Representative gene cluster with a physical link. Clusters TPS-TPS, TPS-BAHD, and TPS-CYP450 are shown.
