An overview of the non-mevalonate pathway for terpenoid biosynthesis in plants Dubey VS; Bhalla R; Luthra RJ Biosci 2003[Sep]; 28 (5): 637-46Terpenoids are known to have many important biological and physiological functions. Some of them are also known for their pharmaceutical significance. In the late nineties after the discovery of a novel non-mevalonate (non-MVA) pathway, the whole concept of terpenoid biosynthesis has changed. In higher plants, the conventional acetate-mevalonate (Ac-MVA) pathway operates mainly in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and synthesizes sterols, sesquiterpenes and ubiquinones predominantly. The plastidic non-MVA pathway however synthesizes hemi-, mono-, sesqui- and di-terpenes, along with carotenoids and phytol chain of chlorophyll. In this paper, recent developments on terpenoids biosynthesis are reviewed with respect to the non-MVA pathway.|Acetates/metabolism[MESH]|Erythritol/chemistry/metabolism[MESH]|Mevalonic Acid/*metabolism[MESH]|Plants/genetics/*metabolism[MESH]|Terpenes/chemistry/*metabolism[MESH] |
