(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate	Zea mays	after herbivory by lepidopteran larvae, maize releases a mixture of volatiles that is highly attractive to females of various parasitic wasp species. The terpene synthase TPS10 forms (E)-beta-farnesene, (E)-alpha-bergamotene, and other herbivory-induced sesquiterpene hydrocarbons from the substrate farnesyl diphosphate	(-)-exo-alpha-bergamotene + diphosphate	-	?
