Heartwood‐specific transcriptome and metabolite signatures of tropical sandalwood (Santalum album) reveal the final step of (Z)‐santalol fragrance biosynthesis

Jose M. Celedon, Angela Chiang, Macaire M.S. Yuen, Maria L. Diaz‐Chavez, more

Tropical sandalwood (Santalum album) produces one of the world's most highly prized fragrances, which is extracted from mature heartwood. However, in some places such as southern India, natural populations of this slow‐growing tree are threatened by over‐exploitation. Sandalwood oil contains four major and fragrance‐defining sesquiterpenols: (Z)‐α‐santalol, (Z)‐β‐santalol, (Z)‐epi‐β‐santalol and (...

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution > 2013 > 60 > 2 > 677-692

The leguminous tree, Millettia pinnata (pongamia) produces oilseed suitable for biodiesel production. Assessment of oil production and genetic, morphological and physiological traits are required. Collections from the Forest Products Commission in Kununurra, Western Australia were compared with accessions from India, Indonesia, Queensland and the Northern Territory in Australia. Molecular diversity,...

Plant and Soil > 2013 > 367 > 1-2 > 363-377

Aims Milletia pinnata is a leguminous tropical tree that produces seed oil suitable for biodiesel and is targeted to be planted on marginal land associated with nitrogen poor soil. This study aimed to identify effective rhizobia species for M. pinnata. Methods Soil samples were collected from M. pinnata grown in Kununurra, Australia. Rhizobia were trapped, characterised and sequenced for 16S rRNA,...

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics > 2008 > 477 > 1 > 121-130

Sandalwood, Santalum album (Santalaceae) is a small hemi-parasitic tropical tree of great economic value. Sandalwood timber contains resins and essential oils, particularly the santalols, santalenes and dozens of other minor sesquiterpenoids. These sesquiterpenoids provide the unique sandalwood fragrance. The research described in this paper set out to identify genes involved in essential oil biosynthesis,...

Quantitative co-occurrence of sesquiterpenes; a tool for elucidating their biosynthesis in Indian sandalwood, Santalum album

Christopher G. Jones, Emilio L. Ghisalberti, Julie A. Plummer, Elizabeth L. Barbour

Phytochemistry > 2006 > 67 > 22 > 2463-2468

A chemotaxonomic approach was used to investigate biosynthetic relationships between heartwood sesquiterpenes in Indian sandalwood, Santalum album L. Strong, linear relationships exist between four structural classes of sesquiterpenes; α- and β-santalenes and bergamotene; γ- and β-curcumene; β-bisabolene and α-bisabolol and four unidentified sesquiterpenes. All samples within the heartwood yielded...
