This project aims to genetically modify plants like Arabidopsis and rice to produce protective triterpenes, which are natural compounds that defend against pests and diseases. It focuses on developing methods to introduce multiple genes into these plants for enhanced pest resistance.
Plants produce a diversity array of natural products (otherwise known as secondary metabolites) that have important ecological functions (Dixon 2001;
Field and Osbourn 2008).
Triterpenes are one of the largest classes of plant-derived natural products.
These compounds protect plants against pests and diseases and are also important as drugs and anticancer agents (Papadopoulou et al 1999;
Phillips et al 2006;
Liby et al 2007).
Arabidopsis and also cereals such as rice do not make protective trit…
