Disease relevance of alpha-Farnesene

A recombinant alpha-farnesene synthase from apple (Malusxdomestica), expressed in Escherichia coli, showed features not previously reported [1].

High impact information on alpha-Farnesene

The amount of alpha-farnesene adsorbed by the fiber increased with air movement through the system [2].
The production of aromadendrene in the completely unripe fruit body suggests the existence of communication events in the early stage of ascomata formation between the fungus and the host plant. alpha-Farnesene could represent a chemotactic attractant to saprophytic organisms in order to disperse the fungal spores in the environment [3].
Internal ethylene concentrations (IEC), alpha-farnesene and conjugated trienol (CTol) concentrations, activities of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and DPA levels in the skin of the fruit were measured at intervals during storage [4].
Early studies found that CT hydroperoxides and the volatile 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (MHO) are major in vitro autoxidation products of alpha-farnesene [5].
