| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Momilactones has been extensively investigated as important diterpenoid-type phytoalexins and allelochemicals in rice. Interestingly, the moss Hypnum plumaeforme, evolutionally distinct plant from rice, produce momilactones in response to stress response in chemical defense system. In this study, we identified HpDTC1 enncoding pimaradiene synthase in the first committed step of momilactone biosynthesis in the moss, and demonstrate that HpDTC1 transcriptional regulation is mediated by both biotic and abiotic stresses. Further, proHpDTC1::GUS reporter analysis in transgenic moss Physcomitrella patens revealed the stress signaling is commonly conserved among moss plants. Our study demonstrates the molecular basis of momilactones biosynthesis in the moss leading to the ancestral chemical defense system in plant evolution.
