Deficiency of valencene in mandarin hybrids is associated with a deletion in the promoter region of the valencene synthase gene

Abstract Background Valencene is a major sesquiterpene in citrus oil and biosynthesized by valencene synthase (Cstps1; EC: 4.2.3.73) from the 15-carbon substrate farnesyl diphosphate. It is abundant in juice of some mandarins (e.g. Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Fortune), however, it is undetectable i...
