Accepted name: (+)-δ-selinene synthase
Reaction: (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (+)-δ-selinene + diphosphate

Glossary: (+)-δ-selinene = (4aR)-1,4a-dimethyl-7-(propan-2-yl)-2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydronaphthalene
Systematic name: (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(+)-δ-selinene-forming]
Comments: Initial cyclization gives germacrene C in an enzyme bound form which is not released to the medium.
