EU-Projekt INTESY

Title: Investigation of Biochemical and Genetical Diversity of Terpenoid Biosynthesis for the Production of High Value-Added Compounds

Acronym: INTESY
QLK3-QLRT-2002-01930

Terpene synthases are responsible for a key biosynthetic step in the formation of many mono- and sesquiterpenes produced by aromatic plants that are valuable in medicine, in food and in the cosmetic industry.

The overall objective of the project is to exploit the natural diversity of the expression of terpene synthases to obtain a detailed understanding of the molecular and structural basis of terpene synthase function, thus enabling a knowledge-based development of strategies for producing important value-added terpenoids at high levels both in vivo and in vitro.

The terpene synthase genes of three species of sage (Salvia) and oregano (Origanum) will be cloned and expressed, the encoded enzymes characterised, and the role of these catalysts in producing diverse terpene profiles investigated. The elucidation of structure-function relationships within terpene synthase families will provide the theoretical basis for developing the possibility of protein engineering.
