Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: GhTPS12
  • Gene Name: GhLin1 linalool synthase
  • Genome: TM1_NBI
  • Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

  • The terpene synthase gene family in Gossypium hirsutum harbors a linalool synthase GhTPS12 implicated in direct defence responses against herbivores.
  • Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants overexpressing GhTPS12 were generated, which produced relatively large amounts of (3S)-linalool.
  • GhTPS12 was able to convert FPP to nerolidol, and no significant activity was detected with the other mono-TPSs.
  • Transgenic tobacco plants expressing GhTPS12 repel cotton bollworms and aphids.
  • GhTPS12 contains an N-terminal plastidial targeting peptide, suggesting a plastid localization and therefore a function in monoterpene biosynthesis in vivo.
