Sesquiterpene synthases from grand fir (Abies grandis) - Comparison of constitutive and wound-induced activities, and cdna isolation, characterization and bacterial expression of delta-selinene synthase and gamma-humulene synthase

摘要

Grand fir (Abies grandis) has been developed as a model system for the study of oleoresin production in response to stem wounding and insect attack. The turpentine fraction of the oleoresin was shown to contain at least 38 sesquiterpenes that represent
