Boosting the Synthesis of Pharmaceutically Active Abietane Diterpenes in S. sclarea Hairy Roots by Engineering the GGPPS and CPPS Genes
Abietane diterpenoids (ADs), synthesized in the roots of different Salvia species, such as aethiopinone, 1-oxoaethiopinone, salvipisone, and ferruginol, have a variety of known biological activities. We have shown that aethiopinone has promising cytotoxic activity against several human tumor cell li...
