Cloning and functional characterization of genes involved in the biosynthesis and secretion of essential oil constituents of Lavandula

Several members of the genus Lavandula produce valuable essential oils (EOs) that are primarily constituted of regular and irregular monoterpenes, the C₁₀ class of terpenes. We isolated over 22,000 ESTs from leaves, flowers and glandular trichomes of L. angustifolia and L. x intermedia species to fa...
