Conclusions
Many terpenes remain to be discovered so they will undoubtedly intrigue scientists for years, as their applications are only beginning to be fully realized. Arguably, society has benefited tremendously from terpenes. In addition, understanding the function of genes in terpene production could lead to discovering novel compounds or pathways, which might reveal new important aspects for many human applications. For instance, the ability to upregulate terpene synthesis in C. langsdorfii could result in an increase in the diesel-like resin harvested from this tree, might prove beneficial to the global market of biofules. As we continue into the agrobiotechnology age, it is highly likely the applications and potentials of terpenes will be further explored.
