PROCESS FOR PRODUCING INTERMEDIATE OF USEFUL ALKALOID BIOSYNTHESIS ACCORDING TO RNAi METHOD

摘要

A process for producing an intermediate of alkaloid biosynthesis, comprising inhibiting the expression of an enzyme using a target alkaloid biosynthesis intermediate as a substrate by the employment of RNAi method in an alkaloid producing plant cell, plant tissue or plant body. There is further provided an RNAi gene for use in the process.
