| Abstract: | The biosynthesis of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons was studied in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) needles by incorporation of 14CO2, 1-14C] acetate and 2-14C] mevalonate. It was shown that the mechanisms of sesquiterpene biosynthesis are different according to the applied tracer. The important role of the acyclic compound, trans-β-farnesene, before cyclisation processes is discussed. |
