From: The terpene synthase (TPS) gene family in kiwifruit shows high functional redundancy and a subset of TPS likely fulfil overlapping functions in fruit flavour, floral bouquet and defence

Volatile terpenes produced by transient over-expression of AcTPS genes in planta. N. benthamiana leaves were infiltrated with Agrobacterium suspensions containing pHEX2_LIS/NES, pHEX2_AcGES, pHEX2_AcBCS, pHEX2_AcNES2, pHEX2_NES3 or the negative control pHEX2_GUS. Leaves were infiltrated in combination with pHEX2-AcDXS (A) or pEAQ-tHMGR-2ABCCP1 (B) to up-regulate flux through the MEP and mevalonate pathways, respectively. Volatiles were collected by SPME and analysed by GC–MS 7 d post infiltration. Experiments were performed in triplicate, and a single representative trace is shown (based on the single ion m/z 93). The concentrations of all terpene volatiles measured after inoculation are presented in Table S4
