TPS — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3007G055500 (SbTPS, also known as TPS31) encodes a terpene synthase on sorghum chromosome 7, possessing multiple terpene cyclase and synthase domains and annotated with a wide range of specific terpene synthase activities including sesquithujene, gamma-curcumene, alpha-zingiberene, beta-sesquiphellandrene, (-)-E-beta-caryophyllene, alpha-copaene, S-linalool, (4S)-limonene, myrcene, and endo-alpha-bergamotene synthase activities, as well as isomerase activity and magnesium binding. The gene is associated with terpene, terpenoid, and diterpenoid metabolism and anabolism, phosphate metabolism, and defense responses to fungi. It is linked to resistance, and related genes in other species connect the family to defense responses and brown planthopper resistance.
