Germacrene A Synthases for Sesquiterpene Lactone Biosynthesis Are Expressed in Vascular Parenchyma Cells Neighboring Laticifers in Lettuce

Sesquiterpene lactone (STL) and natural rubber (NR) are characteristic isoprenoids in lettuce (<i>Lactuca sativa</i>). Both STL and NR co-accumulate in laticifers, pipe-like structures located along the vasculature. NR-biosynthetic genes are exclusively expressed in laticifers, but cell-...
