植物中2-苯乙醇的合成研究进展

2-苯乙醇具有愉悦的果香和蜂蜜香味,不仅是植物果实和许多鲜花中重要的香气化合物,并且还具有抗菌和昆虫引诱作用。目前关于2-苯乙醇的代谢途径仅在番茄、玫瑰花、矮牵牛花中有研究和报道,并已从番茄、玫瑰花等植物中克隆到编码其生物合成关键酶的全长基因。综述了植物中2-苯乙醇代谢合成途径的最新研究进展,并对其研究前景进行了展望。

Research Progress on 2-phenylethanol Biosynthesis in Plants

2-Phenylethanol，with a pleasant fruit incense and honey incense，is not only an important aromatic compound in the fruits and flowers of many plants，but also possesses antimicrobial and insect-attractive properties. The present studies on 2-phenylethanol biosynthetic metabolism only focus on tomatoes，roses，petunia flowers，and the full-length genes encoding key enzymes of biosynthetic pathway have been cloned from tomatoes，roses and some other plants. In this paper，the latest progress in 2-phenylethanol biosynthesis is summarized and the research prospect in this field is analyzed.
