“…Three types of enzymes, that is AOS, HPL and divinylether synthase (DES), are included in the CYP74 subfamily, and the AOS and HPL genes have been found in all sequenced plant genomes (Brash, ; Hughes et al ., ). The genes encoding HPL are found mainly in algae, mushrooms, Penicillium and higher plants and have been characterized and cloned in many plant species, such as cucumber, green bell pepper, tomato and alfalfa (Atwal et al ., ; Noordermeer et al ., ; Santiago‐Gómez et al ., ; Wan et al ., ). Most HPLs are membrane bound; HPLs in plants such as Arabidopsis contain a chloroplast transit peptide, whereas HPLs in other plants, such as tomato and melon, do not have a clear transit peptide and are suggested to be microsome localized (Bate et al ., ; Froehlich et al ., ; Noordermeer et al ., ).…”
