Termites make more than 200 #terpenoids, but how? This study reveals that a #termite -specific expansion of the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPS) gene family has generated enzymes capable of making the queen #pheromone (3R,6E)-nerolidol & precursors of polycyclic defensive diterpenes @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4ujXu9z
