摘要： Flower fragrance is a crucial ornamental and economic trait of Dendrobium chrysotoxum, and the most abundant and diverse aroma-active compounds are terpenes. Terpene synthase (TPS) is the ultimate enzyme for the biosynthesis of various types of terpenes, and TPS genes were identified as the key regulators governing the spatiotemporal release of volatile terpene compounds. Until recently, the TPS gene family in D. chrysotoxum has remained largely unexplored. Our study characterizes the TPS genes in D. chrysotoxum and identifies 37 DcTPS gene family members. It helped identify the DcTPS genes, gene characteristics, the phylogeny relationship, conserved motif location, gene exon/intron structure, cis-elements in the promoter regions, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, tissue specific expression and verification of the expression across different flowering stages and floral organs. Three highly expressed DcTPS genes were cloned, and their functions were verified using a transient expressed in tobacco leaves. Further functional verification showed that the proteins encoded by these genes were enzymes involved in monoterpene synthesis, and they were all involved in the synthesis of linalool. This study comprehensively expatiates on the TPS gene family members in D. chrysotoxum for the first time. These data will help us gain a deeper understanding of both the molecular mechanisms and the effects of the TPS genes. Furthermore, the discovery that three TPS-b genes (DcTPS 02, 10, 32) specifically drive linalool-based scent in D. chrysotoxum, will provide new insights for expanding the TPS-b subfamily in orchids and identifying the linalool synthases contributing to orchid fragrance.
