Purification and characterization of an inducible sesquiterpene cyclase from elicitor-treated tobacco cell suspension cultures

An elicitor-inducible sesquiterpene cyclase, which catalyzes the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to 5-epi-aristolochene and representing a committed step in the phytoalexin biosynthetic pathway in tobacco, was purified.
