Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: LeGGPS1
  • Gene Name: geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase1
  • Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
  • Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

  • LeGGPS1 was predominantly expressed in leaf tissue and LeGGPS2 in ripening fruit and flower tissue.
  • LeGGPS1 expression was induced in leaves by spider mite (Tetranychus urticae)-feeding and mechanical wounding in wild type tomato but not in the jasmonic acid (JA)-response mutant def-1 and the salicylic acid (SA)-deficient transgenic NahG line.
  • We show that emission of the GGPP-derived volatile terpenoid (E,E)-4,8,12-trimethyltrideca-1,3,7,11-tetraene (TMTT) correlates with expression of LeGGPS1.
  • LeGGPS1 is proposed to be involved in precursor biosynthesis for TMTT. We also determined the role of the phytohormones JA and salicylic acid (SA) in regulating LeGGPS1 expression and GL synthase activity, leading to TMTT emission.
