additional information | gene OkBCS silencing in Ocimum kilimandscharicum plants via Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 mediated transfection. beta-Caryophyllene and alpha-humulene levels decrease by about 20% in silenced plants compared to controls. The silencing effect is more prominent in systemic leaves with 95% reduction in OkBCS transcripts against 51% decrease in local leaves | Ocimum kilimandscharicum |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the enzyme belongs to typical class of sesquiterpene synthases from angiosperms, clade TPS-a. Across five Ocimum species, OkBCS shows the highest expression in Ocimum kilimandscharicum followed by Ocimum americanum, Ocimum tenuiflorum, and Ocimum gratissimum while Ocimum basilicum hadve trace levels | Ocimum kilimandscharicum |
physiological function | agro-infiltration based transient expression manipulation with OkBCS overexpression and silencing confirms its role in beta-caryophyllene biosynthesis | Ocimum kilimandscharicum |
