1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase alleles responsible for enhanced terpene biosynthesis

摘要

A method of enhancement of the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) activity of plants or bacteria to increase terpenes production in cells, an enhanced DXS sequence likely to be obtained by this method, a method of enhancement of production of terpenes in a host cell containing the enhanced DXS enzyme, and transgenic bacterium or plants that express this polypeptide are described.
