RNA-Seq in the discovery of a sparsely expressed scent-determining monoterpene synthase in lavender (Lavandula)

Several species of Lavandula produce essential oils (EOs) consisting mainly of monoterpenes including linalool, one of the most abundant and scent-determining oil constituents. Although R-linalool dominates the EOs of lavenders, varying amounts (depending on the species) of the S-linalool enantiomer...
