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

We observed a significant trend where species positioned at the termini of longer evolutionary branches exhibit an expanded number of members in the TPS-a subgroup, such as the Poaceae branch in monocots (from Triticum turgidum L. to Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P.Beauv.), the Solanaceae branch in super-asterids (from Capsicum chinense Jacq. to Petunia axillaris (Lam.) Britton, Sterns & Poggenb.), and the Rosaceae branch in super-rosids (from Prunus mume (Siebold) Siebold & Zucc. to Fragaria vesca L.) (orange bars in Figure 1 ).
