General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function the enzyme forms the herbivore-induced sesquiterpene volatiles of maize. Females of the parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris learn to exploit the TPS10 sesquiterpenes to locate their lepidopteran hosts after prior exposure to these volatiles in association with hosts. Thus the sesquiterpenes produced by TPS10 can provide a volatile signal for the indirect defense of the plant against herbivore attack Zea mays
