Sesquiterpene Synthase Gene And Protein, Joe Chappell, Bryan T. Greenhagen Sep 2014

Sesquiterpene Synthase Gene And Protein, Joe Chappell, Bryan T. Greenhagen

Plant and Soil Sciences Faculty Patents

The invention relates to sesquiterpene synthases and methods for their production and use. Particularly, the invention provides nucleic acids comprising the nucleotide sequence of citrus valencene synthase (CVS) which codes for at least one CVS. The invention further provides nucleic acids comprising the nucleotide sequence coding for amino acid residues forming the tier 1 and tier 2 domains of CVS. The invention also provides for methods of making and using the nucleic acids and amino acids of the current invention.
