Phylogeny and Functional Differentiation of the Terpene Synthase Gene Family in Angiosperms with Emphasis on <i>Rosa chinensis</i>.

ABSTRACT: Terpenes are pivotal for plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stresses. With the advent of extensive genomic data and sophisticated bioinformatics tools, new insights into the evolutionary dynamics and functional diversification of terpene synthases (TPSs) have emerged. Despite genome-wide identifications of the TPS family in certain species, comprehensive cross-species analyses remain scarce. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide identification and subgroup classification of TPS families across 115 angiosperms with available genomic sequences. Our phylogenomic synteny network analysis elucidated the complex evolutionary history of TPS genes, revealing notable expansions and contractions among subgroups. Specifically, TPS-a showed significant expansion, while TPS-
