Proposed reaction mechanism for the formation of sesquiterpene products by OryzaTPS1s. These enzymes displayed three types of biochemical activities using farnesyl pyrophosphate as the substrate: (E)-β-caryophyllene synthase (ECS), (E)-β-caryophyllene/germacrene A synthase (EGS), and the germacrene D & germacrene A synthase (DAS). The minor product α-humulene was not considered in the reaction path.
