alpha-farnesene synthase is a key enzyme in the pathway of alpha-farnesene synthesis |
4.2.3.46 | (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate |
apha-farnesene synthase is a key enzyme in the pathway of alpha-farnesene synthesis |
4.2.3.46 | farnesyl diphosphate |
sesquiterpene synthase activity |
4.2.3.46 | farnesyl diphosphate |
isomers of farnesene produced in apple fruit are (E,E)-alpha and (Z,E)-alpha are in a ratio of 300:1 |
4.2.3.46 | geranyl diphosphate |
in monoterpene synthase assays, only (E)-beta-ocimene is produced at much reduced levels |

monoterpene synthase activity |
4.2.3.46 | more |
other sesquiterpenes identified in trace amounts are (E)-nerolidol and beta-farnesene |
4.2.3.46 | more |
the monoterpene synthase ((E)-beta-ocimene and beta-myrcene) and sesquiterpene synthase (alpha-farnesene) products produced by the mutated and wild-type enzymes are identical, there are no significant alterations in the ratios of the alpha-farnesene isomers produced |
