Cloning and functional identification of sesquiterpene synthase gene NjTPS2 in Nardostachys jatamansi DC
Our results confirm <i>NjTPS2</i> possesses the functional activity of a sesquiterpene synthase. It provides genetic resources for elucidating the molecular mechanism underlying the quality formation of <i>N. jatamansi</i>, as well as for the biosynthesis of sesquiterpenoids in <i>N. jatamansi</i> and the breeding of high-quality <i>N. jatamansi</i> varieties.
