Abstract: A plant comprising a genome having an introgression which comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity, the introgression comprising allelic variation(s) as compared to a genome of a recurrent parent of the plant, is disclosed. Organisms comprising a genome having been genetically modified to express a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity are also disclosed. Methods of modulating terpene synthesis or transport of metabolites in organisms, methods of producing plants having a terpene synthase activity of interest, having a terpene profile of interest or having a transporter activity of interest are disclosed. Methods of producing a terpene of interest are also disclosed.

Abstract: Isolated mogroside and mogrol biosynthetic pathway enzyme polypeptides useful in mogroside biosynthesis are provided. Mogroside biosynthetic pathway enzymes of the invention include squalene epoxidase (SE), epoxy hydratase (EH), cytochrome p450 (Cyp), cucurbitadienol synthase (CDS) and udp-glucosyl-transferase (UGT), Also provided are methods of producing a mogroside using the isolated mogroside and mogrol biosynthetic enzyme polypeptides, the methods comprising contacting a mogrol and/or a glycosylated mogrol (mogroside) with at least one UDP glucose glucosyl transferase (UGT) enzyme polypeptide of the invention catalyzing glucosylation of the mogrol and/or the glucosylated mogrol to produce a mogroside with an additional glucosyl moietie(s), thereby producing the mogroside.

Abstract: Provided composition and methods for controlling, treating or preventing a pathogenic infection in a plant with a phenylalanine solution. The plant may be at a post-harvest and/or at a pre-harvest stage.
