<? xm-replace_text {Heading}?> Abstract Terpenoids (isoprenoids) represent the largest
and most diverse class of chemicals among the myriad compounds produced by plants …

Some plant terpenes such as sterols and carotenes are part of primary metabolism and
found essentially in all plants. However, the majority of the terpenes found in plants are …

The remarkable plasticity of plant ontogeny is shaped by hormone pathways, which not only
orchestrate intrinsic developmental programs, but also convey environmental inputs …

The diterpenoids are classically defined by their composition—four isoprenyl units (20
carbons)—and are generally derived from [E, E, E]-geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) …

Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are diterpene plant hormones that are biosynthesized through
complex pathways and control diverse aspects of growth and development. GAs were first …

Terpenes constitute the largest class of plant secondary (or specialized) metabolites, which
are compounds of ecological function in plant defense or the attraction of beneficial …

Secretory structures in terrestrial plants appear to have first emerged as intracellular oil
bodies in liverworts. In vascular plants, internal secretory structures, such as resin ducts and …

Key message Most known phytohormones regulate moss development. We present a
comprehensive view of the synthesis and signaling pathways for the most investigated of …

Bryophytes are close extant relatives of the ancestral land plant. As such, they have retained
many innovations that had enabled the adaptation of early land plants to the terrestrial …

The structures and mechanism of action of many terpene cyclases are known, but no
structures of diterpene cyclases have yet been reported. Here, we propose structural models …
