A method for preparing a cell free homogenate of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium (Trev.) Bocc.

摘要

A method for preparing a cell free homogenate containing bioactive enzyme(s) and cofactor(s) of the pyrethrin pathway of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium (Trev.) Bocc. is provided. This cell free homogenate will convert mevalonic acid or isopentenyl pyrophosphate into pyrethrins and chrysanthemyl alcohol.
