The application discloses a
gene of eudesmolsynthase AoTPS1 and an application of the
gene and a coded
protein, and provides a
gene AoTPS1 for regulating
biosynthesis of a monoterpenoid compound eudesmol, wherein a
nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1, the total length of the sequence is 1785 bp, 594 amino acids are coded, the molecular weight is 69.03 kDa, and a coded
amino acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 2. The eudesmolsynthase AoTPS1
protein has the function of catalyzing synthesis of eudesmol
in vitro, meanwhile, overexpression of the eudesmolsynthase AoTPS1 gene by using a genetic transformation technology can significantly increase the content of eudesmol in monoterpenoid volatile oil compounds. Therefore, the AoTPS1 gene is a key gene for regulating synthesis of volatile oil of
Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., and can significantly promote
biosynthesis of eudesmol in monoterpenoid volatile oil and improve the medicinal value of volatile oil of
Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.
