DE   ent-cassa-12,15-diene synthase.
CA   ent-copalyl diphosphate = diphosphate + ent-cassa-12,15-diene.
CC   -!- This class I diterpene cyclase produces ent-cassa-12,15-diene,
CC       a precursor of the rice phytoalexins (-)-phytocassanes A-E.
CC       Phytoalexins are diterpenoid secondary metabolites that are involved
CC       in the defense mechanism of the plant, and are produced in response
CC       to pathogen attack through the perception of elicitor signal
CC       molecules such as chitin oligosaccharide, or after exposure to UV
CC       irradiation.
