This project investigates the role of specific transport proteins in the movement of terpenes, particularly sesquiterpenes like artemisinin, within plant cells. By studying transporters from Artemisia annua in tobacco cells, the research aims to clarify how these beneficial compounds are transported, enhancing our unde…
Plants synthesize a wide range of secondary metabolites, among them, terpenes.
These molecules are notably produced in trichomes which are specialized structures present on the surface of aerial organs.
Although the terpene biosynthetic pathways have been well deciphered, their transport across membranes remains poorly understood.
This is for instance the case for sesquiterpenes such as artemisinin, an extremely potent anti-malaria drug.
Despite the immense benefits of these compounds for plant…
