Table 1 Current existing nomenclature of the terpene synthase gene family in maize. The first column contains the names already assigned to functionally characterized maize TPS genes in the literature (for citations see last column). To fill the remaining gaps in the TPS numbering and to unify the nomenclature, we propose the names listed in the second column, mainly following the original names or the names already given in Ding et al. [4] (third column). Please note that this table also includes obvious pseudogenes, because it has been shown that a pseudogene in one maize line can be functional in another line [3, 5, 6]
