Abstract
ABSTRACT Lavandula angustifolia Mill. or true lavender is an emblematic plant from dry and calcareous hills of the south of France. Lavender essential oils obtained from inflorescences harvested at bloom stage are mainly composed of monoterpenes and few sesquiterpenes. The characteristic lavender smell is due to linalool and linalyl acetate that represent more than half of the emitted volatile organic compound (VOC) quantity. These monoterpenoids are derived from plastidial pathway precursors. The regulation of this pathway in lavender is mainly managed by the successive expression of two DXS during flower development. In the light of 10 years of published data on lavender, it appears that biochemical pathways of main terpenes are mostly depicted. Several transcriptomic libraries are available and a genome at chromosome scale has been assembled and molecular markers developed. The diversity of lavender terpenes and their biosynthesis are reviewed with additional original data regarding the anatomical glandular structures and expression of genes involved in IPP biosynthesis.

期刊介绍:
Botany Letters is an international scientific journal, published by the French Botanical Society (Société botanique de France) in partnership with Taylor & Francis. Botany Letters replaces Acta Botanica Gallica, which was created in 1993, building on over a century of renowned publications by the Société botanique de France.
