Simplified scheme of terpene biosynthesis. IPP is produced either by the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway or the mevalonate (MEV) pathway. TPSs catalyze the last step of terpene biosynthesis. G3P, Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate; CBGA, cannabigerolic acid. Adapted from figure 1 of Booth et al. (2020).
