Journal ArticleDOI
The terpene synthase gene family in Gossypium hirsutum harbors a linalool synthase GhTPS12 implicated in direct defence responses against herbivores
Xin-Zheng Huang,Yu-Tao Xiao,Tobias G. Köllner,Weixia Jing,Kou Junfeng,Jie-Yin Chen,Dan-Feng Liu,Shao-Hua Gu,Jun-Xiang Wu,Yong-jun Zhang,Yuyuan Guo +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that insect-induced cotton volatile blends contained 16 terpenoid compounds with a relatively high level of linalool, demonstrating that transcript accumulation of multiple TPS genes is mainly responsible for the production and diversity of herbivore-induced volatile terpenes in cotton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two pockets in the active site of maize sesquiterpene synthase TPS4 carry out sequential parts of the reaction scheme resulting in multiple products
Tobias G. Köllner,Paul E. O'Maille,Nathalie Gatto,Wilhelm Boland,Jonathan Gershenzon,Jörg Degenhardt +5 more
TL;DR: To understand the complex TPS4 reaction mechanism, the active site cavity was modeled and docking simulations with the substrate farnesyl diphosphate, several predicted carbocation intermediates, and the final reaction products were conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue-Specific Emission of (E)-α-Bergamotene Helps Resolve the Dilemma When Pollinators Are Also Herbivores.
Wenwu Zhou,Anke Kügler,Erica McGale,Alexander Haverkamp,Markus Knaden,Han Guo,Franziska Beran,Felipe Yon,Ran Li,Nathalie D. Lackus,Tobias G. Köllner,Julia Bing,Meredith C. Schuman,Bill S. Hansson,Danny Kessler,Ian T. Baldwin,Shuqing Xu +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in the night-flowering wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata, the emission of a sesquiterpene, (E)-α-bergamotene, in flowers increases adult Manduca sexta moth-mediated pollination success, while the same compound in leaves is known to mediate indirect defense against M.Sexta larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in volatile composition during fruit development and ripening of 'Alphonso' mango
Sagar Subhash Pandit,Ram Kulkarni,Hemangi G. Chidley,Ashok P. Giri,Keshav H. Pujari,Tobias G. Köllner,Jörg Degenhardt,Jonathan Gershenzon,Vidya S. Gupta +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 55 volatiles belonging to various chemical classes such as aldehydes, alcohols, mono-and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, lactones and furanones were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convergent evolution of a metabolic switch between aphid and caterpillar resistance in cereals.

TL;DR: This study shows how two different cereal species independently achieved herbivore-specific defense activation by regulating secondary metabolite production through O-methylation of regulatory benzoxazinoids.
