| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plants produce a wide variety of secondary (specialized) metabolites to survive under biotic and abiotic stress. Among them, terpenoids are those of the most structurally varied class of plant specialized metabolites and perform multiple important biological roles. Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) have a central role to enhance the diversity of the triterpenoids, C-30 terpenoids. In this study, we analyzed the function of various CYPs in triterpenoid biosynthesis using yeast heterologous expression system. Furthermore, we created gene knockout plant/plant tissues to confirm in planta function of those CYPs including Arabidoisis, tomato and licorice.
