Even if I write something stupid it might just become the impetus for someone else to jump in do better (if only to provide a correction), right?

They plan on using seeds from wild maples to redo the area around the city. They have sited that the Asian longhorned beetle would still be a problem to most maples. My goal would be to take whatever the natural deterrent is in cedar and put it in the genome of these wild bred maples. Does anyone have a suggestion as to the deterrent or the gene I'm looking for? My guess is it is the scent of the cedar which may have multiple loci.I would say that "whatever the natural deterrent is in cedar" is pretty vague (but you know that). My guess is that you would be dealing with many genes in isoprenoid biosynthetic pathways (many both because it may require more than one substance being produced and because it would take many different enzymes to produce a given substance of interest).Have you done a literature search? Maybe start with papers with titles that look like the following and then look at papers cited in the references and at papers citing whatever you find, etc..
