Claim Text:
1. A host cell, comprising a cDNA molecule encoding a labdenediol diphosphate synthase polypeptide; wherein the cDNA molecule encoding the labdenediol diphosphate synthase is heterologous to the host cell and is operably linked to a heterologous promoter; wherein the labdenediol diphosphate synthase polypeptide comprises a sequence of amino acid residues that has at least 85% sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 54; and wherein the labdenediol diphosphate synthase polypeptide catalyzes production of a terpene from an acyclic pyrophosphate terpene precursor in the host cell.
