Fruit monoterpene synthesis in kiwifruit is transcriptionally regulated by transcription factors that activate the terpene synthase promoter. Two kiwifruit ( Actinidia ) species with contrasting terpene profiles were compared to understand the regulation of fruit monoterpene production. High rates o...
