Abstract:
An isolated gymnosperm nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:(a) an isolated gymnosperm nucleic acid molecule encoding an E-.alpha. bisabolene synthase enzyme, said nucleic acid molecule hybridizing under wash conditions of 0.5.times.SSC at 55.degree. C. for 30 minutes to the complement of the nucleic acid molecule consisting of the nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:12;(b) an isolated gymnosperm nucleic acid molecule encoding a .delta.-selinene synthase enzyme, said nucleic acid molecule hybridizing under wash conditions of 0.5.times.SSC at 55.degree. C. for 30 minutes to the complement of the nucleic acid molecule consisting of the nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:19; and(c) an isolated gymnosperm nucleic acid molecule encoding a .gamma.-humulene synthase enzyme, said nucleic acid molecule hybridizing under wash conditions of 0.5.times.SSC at 55.degree. C. for 30 minutes to the complement of the nucleic acid molecule consisting of the nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:23.
