Abstract Terpene trilactones (TTLs) are important secondary metabolites in ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba); however, their biosynthesis gene regulatory network remains unclear. Here, we isolated a G. biloba ethylene response factor 4 (GbERF4) involved TTL synthesis. Overexpression of GbERF4 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) significantly increased terpenoid content and upregulated the expression key enzyme genes (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase [HMGR], 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase...

Abstract Terpene trilactones (TTLs) have important medicinal value, but their low content in Ginkgo biloba leaves makes exploitation extremely costly, thereby limiting the development of TTL related industries. It was found that exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment increased accumulation TTLs, molecular mechanism is still unclear. Here, we identified two bHLH transcription factors G. biloba, with protein subcellular localizations nucleus. GbMYC2s expression strongly induced by MeJA...

Abstract 4‐Coumarate‐CoA ligase ( 4CL ) gene plays vital roles in plant growth and development, especially the regulation of lignin metabolism flavonoid synthesis. To investigate potential function biosynthesis Ginkgo biloba , this study identified two genes, Gb4CL1 Gb4CL2 from G. genome. Based on phylogenetic tree analysis, protein were classified into Class I, which has been confirmed to be involved biosynthesis. Therefore, it can inferred that these genes may also participate metabolism....
