physiological function | transgenic fruits overexpressing isoform PHS1 produce only small amounts of GPP-derived monoterpene products. Neryl diphosphate synthase NDPS1 coexpression with PHS1 results in a monoterpene blend, including beta-phellandrene, similar to that produced from NPP by PHS1 in vitro and in trichomes. Fruits coexpressing both PHS1 and NDPS1 show recovery of lycopene levels compared to NDPS1 fruits. In vitro assays demonstrate that NPP serves as an inhibitor of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase. Monoterpenes produced in fruits coexpressing both PHS1 and NDPS1 contribute to direct plant defense negatively affecting feeding behavior of the herbivore Helicoverpa zea and displaying antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea | Solanum lycopersicum |
