   2.3.1.196 | malfunction |
generation of transgenic petunia plants in which the expression of BPBT, the gene encoding the enzyme that uses benzoyl-CoA and benzyl alcohol to make benzyl benzoate, is reduced or eliminated. Elimination of benzyl benzoate formation decreases the endogenous pool of benzoic acid and methyl benzoate emission but increases emission of benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde, confirming the contribution of benzyl benzoate to benzoic acid formation. Suppression of BPBT activity also affects the overall morphology of petunia plants, resulting in larger flowers and leaves, thicker stems, and longer internodes, which is consistent with the increased auxin transport in transgenic plants |

| 2.3.1.196 | metabolism |
the enzyme is involved in benzenoid biosynthetic pathway |
757300 |
| 2.3.1.196 | physiological function |
it is hypothesized that PhBPBT and subsequent benzyl benzoate production is involved in defencerelated processes in the corolla prior to pollination in the ovary immediately following fertilization, and in vegetative tissue in response to wounding |
709311 |
| 2.3.1.196 | physiological function |
the enzyme catalyzes the formation of benzyl benzoate, a minor constituent of the Clarkia breweri floral aroma |
710301 |
| 2.3.1.196 | physiological function |
