Identification and functional characterization of three new terpene synthase genes involved in chemical defense and abiotic stresses in Santalum album

摘要

BackgroundIt is well known that aromatic essential oils extracted from the heartwood of Santalum album L. have wide economic value. However, little is known about the role of terpenoids in response to various adverse environmental stresses as other plants do in the form of signals during plant-environment interactions.
