Term Name	diterpene phytoalexin precursor biosynthetic process pathway
Term Accession	GO:0051504
Aspect	biological_process
Synonyms (3)	diterpene phytoalexin precursor anabolism pathway, diterpene phytoalexin precursor formation pathway, diterpene phytoalexin precursor synthesis pathway
Definition	A branched pathway that produces the precursors to four structurally distinct types of polycyclic diterpenes. The pathway starts with the cyclization of geranylgeranyl diphosphate into ent-copalyl diphosphate and syn-copalyl diphosphate. The catalytic conversion by diterpene cyclases of these two compounds produces the four diterpene hydrocarbons which are precursors to the four structurally distinct classes of diterpene phytoalexins.
