Spatial distribution of isoprenoid enzymes and MpABCG1 transporter influences sesquiterpene accumulation in Marchantia polymorpha oil bodies - Communications Biology A study maps terpene biosynthesis in Marchantia polymorpha oil bodies and identifies the ABC transporter MpABCG1 as a key factor for endogenous sesquiterpene accumulation in oil bodies, informing future metabolic engineering strategies.

The research, led by Dr Edith Forrestier whilst at the @jimhaseloff.bsky.social lab @camplantsci.bsky.social is published in ‘Communications Biology’: tinyurl.com/ypfd54xr
