agriculture
Because diphenylamine treatment leaves unwanted chemical residues on the fruit, restricts export markets, and creates environmental concerns, a long-range molecular genetic strategy for control of scald by reduction of (E,E)-alpha-farnesene synthesis in scald-susceptible apples is searched. The success of this strategy will rely on our ability to identify, clone, and characterize key genes involved in alpha-farnesene biosynthesis and its regulation by ethylene.
synthesis
expression in Sacchaomyces cerevisiae leads to a titer of (-)-alpha-copaene of 9 mg/l at 48 h and around 7 mg/l in Eschrichia coli, and the titer of (+)-delta-cadinene is 6 mg/l in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and 3.5 mg/l in Escherichia coli
