DE   ent-sandaracopimaradiene synthase.
AN   ent-sandaracopimara-8(14),15-diene synthase.
CA   ent-copalyl diphosphate = diphosphate + ent-sandaracopimara-8(14),15-
CA   diene.
CC   -!- ent-sandaracopimaradiene is a precursor of the rice oryzalexins A-F.
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.
CC   -!- As a minor product, this enzyme also forms ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene,
CC       which is the sole product of EC 4.2.3.30.
CC   -!- Ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene is not a precursor in the biosynthesis of
CC       either gibberellins or phytoalexins.
