Gene

ECS1

Protein

Epi-cedrol synthase

Organism

Artemisia annua

Length

547 amino acids

Function

Sesquiterpene cyclase catalyzing the production of 8-epi-cedrol. Able to convert geranyl diphosphate to monoterpens. Can use farnesyl diphosphate or geranyl diphosphate as substrates, but not geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Probably not involved in artemisinin biosynthesis.

Similarity

Belongs to the terpene synthase family.

Function

Maybe involved in defense responses to X.campestris, but probably not a X.campestris pv. campestris race 750 (e.g. Xcc750) resistance gene; according to genetic data, linked to a locus influencing resistance to Xcc750.
