| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we performed a screening of plants producing high levels of aromatic volatile compounds, phenylpropenes, and isolation of methylene-dioxy bridge forming enzymes and prenyltransferase, which are responsible for the diversification of phenylpropene structures. As the results, we found that dill, chervil, parsley, basil, illicium, and wild ginger produce high amounts of phenylpropenes including myristicine, dillapiole, and dimethylally eugenol. In addition, we successfully isolated putative genes encoding methylene-dioxy bridge forming enzymes and prenyltransferase from dill and illicium.
