| Abstract |
Cloning of OSCs required for triterpene synthesis from legume species that are amenable to molecular genetics will provide tools to address the importance of triterpenes and their derivatives during normal plant growth and development and also in interactions with symbionts and pathogens. Here we report the cloning and characterization of a total of three triterpene synthases from the legume species Medicago truncatula and Lotus japonicus. These include a beta-amyrin synthase from M. truncatula (MtAMY1) and a mixed function triterpene synthase from Lotus japonicus (LjAMY2). A partial cDNA predicted to encode a beta-amyrin synthase (LjAMY1) was also isolated from L. japonicus. The expression patterns of MtAMY1, LjAMY1 and LjAMY2 and of additional triterpene synthases previously characterised from M. truncatula and pea differ in different plant tissues and during nodulation, suggesting that these enzymes may have distinct roles in plant physiology and development. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 March 2020.
All research outputs
#8,534,528
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Plant Molecular Biology
#1,017
of 2,880 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,142
of 62,542 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Molecular Biology
#2
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,880 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 62,542 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
