Monoterpene Synthases from Grand Fir (Abies grandis) cDNA ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION, AND FUNCTIONAL EXPRESSION OF MYRCENE SYNTHASE, (2)- (4S)-LIMONENE SYNTHASE, AND (2)-(1S,5S)-PINENE SYNTHASE*
Grand fir (Abies grandis) has been developed as a model system for studying defensive oleoresin formation in conifers in response to insect attack or other injury. The turpentine fraction of the oleoresin is a complex mixture of monoterpene (C10) olefins in which (2)limonene and (2)-aand (2)-b-pinene are prominent components; (2)-limonene and (2)-pinene synthase activities are also induced upon...

E)-a-Bisabolene synthase is one of two wound-inducible sesquiterpene synthases of grand fir (Abies grandis), and the olefin product of this cyclization reaction is considered to be the precursor in Abies species of todomatuic acid, juvabione, and related insect juvenile hormone mimics. A cDNA encoding (E)-a-bisabolene synthase was isolated from a wound-induced grand fir stem library by a PCR-ba...

Grand fir (Abies grandis) saplings and derived cell cultures are useful systems for studying the regulation of defensive oleoresinosis in conifers, a process involving both the constitutive accumulation of resin (pitch) in specialized secretory structures and the induced production of monoterpene olefins (turpentine) and diterpene resin acids (rosin) by nonspecialized cells at the site of injur...
