Surface glandular trichomes distributed throughout the aerial parts of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) produce and store monoterpene, sesquiterpene, and phenylpropene volatiles. Three distinct basil chemotypes were used to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying the divergence in their monoterpene and sesquiterpene content. The relative levels of specific terpenes in the glandular trichomes of each cultivar were correlated with the levels of transcripts for eight genes encoding distinct terpene synthases. In a cultivar that produces mostly (R)-linalool, transcripts of (R)-linalool synthase (LIS) were the most abundant of these eight. In a cultivar that synthesizes mostly geraniol, transcripts of geraniol synthase were the most abundant, but the glands of this cultivar also contained a transcript of an (R)-LIS gene with a 1-base insertion that caused a frameshift mutation. A geraniol synthase-LIS hybrid gene was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the protein catalyzed the formation of both geraniol and (R)-linalool from geranyl diphosphate. The total amounts of terpenes were correlated with total levels of terpene synthase activities, and negatively correlated with levels of phenylpropanoids and phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity. The relative levels of geranyl diphosphate synthase and farnesyl diphosphate synthase activities did not correlate with the total amount of terpenes produced, but showed some correlation with the ratio of monoterpenes to sesquiterpenes.
甜罗勒(Ocimum basilicum)空气部分分布着表面腺毛,这些腺毛产生和储存单萜、倍半萜和苯丙烯挥发性化合物。使用三种不同的罗勒化学型来研究其单萜和倍半萜含量差异的分子机制。每个品种的腺毛中特定萜类化合物的相对水平与编码八种不同萜类合成酶的转录本水平相关。在主要产生(R)-芳樟醇的品种中,(R)-芳樟醇合成酶(LIS)的转录本是这八个基因中最丰富的。在主要合成香茅醇的品种中,香茅醇合成酶的转录本最丰富,但该品种的腺体中也含有一个带有1个碱基插入引起了移码突变的(R)-LIS基因的转录本。构建并在大肠杆菌中表达了一种香茅醇合成酶-LIS杂交基因,该蛋白质催化了从香茅基二磷酸盐形成香茅醇和(R)-芳樟醇。总萜类化合物的总量与总萜类合成酶活性水平相关,并且与苯丙烯类和苯丙氨酸氨裂解酶活性水平呈负相关。香茅基二磷酸盐合成酶和法尼磷酸二磷酸盐合成酶活性的相对水平与产生的总萜类化合物量不相关,但与单萜和倍半萜比例有一定相关性。
