Identification and characterization of a novel monoterpene synthase from soybean restricted to neryl diphosphate precursor.
Terpenes are important defensive compounds against herbivores and pathogens. Here, we report the identification of a new monoterpene synthase gene, GmNES, from soybean. The transcription of GmNES was up-regulated in soybean plants that were infested with cotton leafworm (Prodenia litura), mechanical...
