Plant polyketide synthases (PKSs) catalyze iterative decarboxylative condensations of malonyl units (Claisen-type C—C bond formation) with a CoA-linked starter molecule to produce linear chain polyketide intermediates. By Claisen, aldol cyclization, or lactonization, and aromatization, the linear chain polyketide intermediates produce varied unnatural small molecules. In this review, the functions of the known plant PKSs are summarized, and the catalytic mechanisms and applications of plant PKSs in the synthesis of unnatural small molecules are covered.

Key words: plant polyketide synthases, unnatural small molecules, combinatorial synthesis, combinatorial biosynthesis
