'''Longifolene synthase''' ({{EC number|4.2.3.58}}) is an [[enzyme]] with system name ''(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (longifolene-forming)''.<ref>{{cite journal | title = Functional characterization of nine Norway Spruce TPS genes and evolution of gymnosperm terpene synthases of the TPS-d subfamily |author = Martin, D.M., Faldt, J. and Bohlmann, J. |journal = Plant Physiol. |date = 2004 |volume = 135 |pages = 1908-1927 |pmid = 15310829 |doi=10.1104/pp.104.042028}}</ref> This enzyme [[catalysis|catalyses]] the following [[chemical reaction]]

: (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> [[longifolene]] + [[diphosphate]]

This enzyme forms alpha-longipinene, longicyclene and traces of other [[sesquiterpenoid]]s.
