title: The deoxyxylulose phosphate pathway of terpenoid biosynthesis in plants and microorganisms.
abstract: Recent studies have uncovered the existence of an alternative, non-mevalonate pathway for the formation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, the two building blocks of terpene biosynthesis.
