In this paper we characterize three sTPSs: a germacrene D (LaGERDS), a (E)-β-
caryophyllene (LaCARS) and a τ-cadinol synthase (LaCADS). τ-cadinol synthase is …

Throughout the plant kingdom, many species produce aromatic essential oils that contain
mixtures of terpene or phenylpropanoid metabolites. The well-known culinary herb …

We cloned the gene of the acyclic sesquiterpene synthase,(E)-b-farnesene synthase (CJFS)
from Yuzu (Citrus junos, Rutaceae). The function of CJFS was elucidated by the preparation …
