Molecular cloning and functional characterization of alpha-humulene synthase, a possible key enzyme of zerumbone biosynthesis in shampoo ginger (Zingiber zerumbet Smith).

abstract：:According to Roelofsen and Houwink's (1953, Acta Bot.

To establish the extent of reorientation, microfibrils were studied du...
