Delta-cadinene synthase from hypersensitively responding cotton cotyledons: Identification of substrate and product and partial purification of the enzyme

Scope and method of study. Glanded OK 1.2 cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cotyledons were inoculated with Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacearum (Smith) Dye (Xcm; the causative agent of bacterial blight of cotton). The resulting hypersensitively responding cotyledons were injected with (2-;Findings and conclusions. Radiochemical analysis of labelled DHC and HMC confirmed that (1-...
