Abstract:
Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase gene,fps,was obtained via amplification by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) with the total RNA of cv.K326 tobacco leaf as a template and cloned into vecter PMD19-T.Sequence analysis showed that the cloned cDNA was 702bp in length and encoded 234 amino acid residues.The homology between the sequence of its nucleic acid and that of the fps genes of Zea mays L.,Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.,Arabidopsis thaliana L.,Artemisia annua L.,Nicotiana sanderae×Nicotiana langadorffii was of 74%,76%,77%,80% and 97%,respectively.
