A METHOD FOR REGULATING PLASTIDIAL ISOPRENOID BIOSYNTHESIS IN HEVEA BRASILIENSIS

摘要

The present invention relates to an isolated polypeptide for catalyzing plastidial biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate, dimethylallyl diphosphate or the combination thereof in the plant of Hevea brasiliensis, comprising amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 4, SEQ ID NO. 6, SEQ ID NO. 8, SEQ ID NO. 10 or SEQ ID NO. 12; and a method for catalyzing the biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate, dimethylallyl diphosphate or the combination thereof for enhancing the biosynthesis of natural rubber from its precursors. The present invention also relates to an isolated polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide, a recombinant gene construct comprising the polynucleotide, a transformant and a transgenic plant comprising the recombinant gene construct.
