GENE CLUSTER OF PRENYL TRANSFERASE OF HEVEA BRASILIENSIS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine a base sequence of gene by collecting a gene cluster encoding various kinds of prenyl transferases of Hevea brasiliensis.

SOLUTION: A gene cluster encoding various kinds of prenyl transferases of Hevea brasiliensis is collected and base sequences of the genes are determined. Prenyl transferase is involved in biosynthesis of isoprene backbone of natural rubber. Transformation of a plant with the gene cluster is expected to improve rubber productivity.
