Title:
Use of linalool synthase in genetic engineering ofscent production
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1997015584
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A purified S-linalool synthase polypeptide from Clarkia breweri is disclosed as is the recombinant polypeptide and nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptide. Also disclosed are antibodies immunoreactive with the purified peptide and with recombinant versions of the polypeptide. Methods of using the nucleic acid sequences, as well as methods of enhancing the smell and the flavor of plants expressing the nucleic acid sequences are also disclosed.
