physiological function
-
tuber-specific over-expression of potato alpha-copaene synthase gene results in up to 15fold enhanced levels of alpha-copaene with a positive correlation between transgene expression level and alpha-copaene abundance. No aroma differences in the transgenic samples compared with controls and no significant differences in taste attributes are found. Sensory analysis suggests that alpha-copaene is not a major component of potato flavour
physiological function
in sweet orange tissues sesquiterpene profile is qualitatively rich. Overall, up to 25 sesquiterpenes are identified in total. Enzyme CsSesquiTPS1 catalyzes formation of a 62:38% mixture of (Z)-beta-cubebene and alpha-copaene
