contrary to wild-type, transgenic Lotus japonicus plants expressing isoform TPS2 produce (E,E)-geranyllinalool and (E,E)-4,8,12-trimethyltrideca-1,3,7,11-tetraene. Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum expressing isoform TPS2 produces (E,E)-geranyllinalool but not (E,E)-4,8,12-trimethyltrideca-1,3,7,11-tetraene. In olfactory assays, the generalist predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus but not the specialist Phytoseiulus persimilis is attracted to uninfested, transgenic Lotus japonicus plants expressing TPS2 over wild-type plants. The specialist Phytoseiulus persimilis is more strongly attracted by the transgenic plants infested with spider mites than by infested wild-type plants |
