LITERATURE
evolution
-
the enzyme belongs to the terpene sythase superfamily, subfamily TPS-b. The arginine-tryptophan motif, R(R)X8W, present at the N-terminus of most mono-TPS and in some sesqui-TPS and di-TPS, is found in CoTPS3
malfunction
transgenic maize plants overexpressing EREB58 show constitutive overaccumulation of TPS10 transcripts and also two major TPS10 products, (E)-beta-farnesene and (E)-alpha-bergamotene. By contrast, the contents of these two sesquiterpenes are reduced in EREB58-RNAi transgenic lines, in which the expression of TPS10 is suppressed

physiological function
additional information
the region from -300 to -200 of the maize TPS10 promoter is both necessary and sufficient for its inducibility by herbivory, the herbivore- and jasmonate-responsive AP2/ERF transcription factor EREB58 is a positive regulator of TPS10 expression and TPS10 volatile emission in maize, and plays a potential role in indirect defense against herbivores in maize, EREB58 binds directly to the GCC-box within the promoter fragment from -300 to -200 and promotes TPS10 expression, phylogenetic analysis, overview
