Terpentedienyl-diphosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.15, terpentedienol diphosphate synthase, Cyc1, clerodadienyl diphosphate synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name terpentedienyl-diphosphate lyase (decyclizing).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- geranylgeranyl diphosphate terpentedienyl diphosphate
This enzyme requires Mg2+.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
