What is Terpenes and Terpenoids Biosynthesis about?
1) Terpenoids are organic compounds constructed from joining 5 carbon units known as isoprene units. 2) They are classified based on the number of 5 carbon units into hemiterpenes, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, etc. 3) Terpenes are biosynthesized via two pathways, the mevalonate pathway which occurs in the cytosol and produces sesquiterpenes and triterpenes, and the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway which occurs in the plastids and produces other terpenes.
