Liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is an attractive plant factory for genetic engineering and heterologous expression of transgenes responsible for the biosynthesis of hydrophobic compounds such as fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. From the viewpoint of the controls of constituents in oil bodies in M. polymorpha, we planned to identify and analyze of terpene cyclases involved in production and accumulation of hydrophobic compounds. Our research has provided interesting information by characterization of sesquiterpene and diterpene cyclases from M. polymorpha.
