Interorganellar Network on the Regulatory Mechanisms of Higher Plants Specific IPP Biosynthesis

Abstract

Higher plants produce a wide variety of isoprenoids via characteristic biosynthesis pathways. Although it has been considered that higher plants may have unique regulatory mechanisms over multiple organelles for isoprenoid biosynthesis, the whole of the regulatory mechanisms remains to be solved. We describe recent achievements on the regulatory mechanisms of the upstream of the isoprenoid biosyntesis in higher plants.
