TPS11 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_2G089130 (symbol TPS11) on chromosome 2 of barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) encodes a terpene synthase with multiple annotated activities, including alpha-thujene synthase, R-linalool synthase, sabinene synthase, and (E)-beta-ocimene synthase, and it binds manganese and magnesium. The gene is associated with monoterpene and diterpenoid biosynthesis, geranyl diphosphate metabolism, terpene anabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic processes, calcium signaling, and defense response. It is linked to terpenoid cyclase and isoprenoid synthase domains. Studies of related genes in other species connect the TPS11 family to terpene synthase activity.
