EBF synthase from Artemisia annua
This open reading frame codes for a sesquiterpene synthase (GenBank Accession No. AY835398), (E)-β-farnesene synthase, that has been isolated from Artemisia annua L (Picaud et al., 2005). The enzyme converts farnesyl diphosphate into β-farnesene. β-farnesene is an alarm hormone produced by aphids. It is also an important semiochemicals in aphid localization. It is released in the cornicle secretions of many aphid species (Franscis et al., 2005) to alert surrounding aphids of the presence of natural enemies (Kunert et al., 2005). Detection of these short range chemical cues leads not to the aphid directly, but only indicates the presence, improving prey detection of the predators and parasitoids.
