The terpene biosynthesis in leaves of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Morio Muskat was studied using methyljasmonate to induce defensive responses in vivo. The experiments demonstrated the strong activationof the de novo biosynthesis of terpenoids via the octadecanoid-signaling cascade and release of thecompounds to the gas phase. Feeding experiments with [5,5-2H2]-1-deoxy-D-xylulose and [5,5-2H2]mevalonic acid lactone allowed the investigation of the dynamic allocation of resources via themevalonic acid and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose/2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (DOXP/MEP) pathwayunder induced conditions and after treatment with the specific inhibitors mevastatin and fosmidomycin.The experiments reveal that monoterpenes are almost exclusively synthesized via the DOXP/MEPpathway, whereas sesquiterpenes are generated via both pathways at approximately equal rates.The biosynthesis of the homoterpene (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene was not affected bymevastatine or fosmidomycin.Keywords: Vitaceae; 1-deoxy-D-xylulose; mevalonic acid; inhibition studies; octadecanoid-signalingcascade; enantioselective multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (enantio-MDGC-MS); dynamic headspace extraction
