Problems solved by technology

[0008] Although chemical methods to produce santalol and other sesquiterpenoids in sandalwood oil have been attempted, the highly complex structures of these compounds make economically viable synthetic methods for their preparation difficult to achieve in large quantities

Embodiment 1

[0505] Cloning and Sequencing of Sandalwood cDNA

[0506] In this example, RNA was extracted from wood samples of sandalwood trees, after which cDNA was generated and sequenced.

[0507] A. Isolation and Extraction of Sandalwood RNA

[0508] Several 25 mm holes were drilled in the lower stem of a mature sandalwood tree growing on land managed by the Forest Products Commission of Western Australia. Collect wood samples from the heartwood-sapwood transition zone and freeze them immediately in liquid nitrogen. RNA was extracted from 10 g of tissue using a protocol modified from Kolosova et al., (2004) BioTechniques 36:821-824. After precipitation with LiCl, RNA was stored at -80°C until cDNA synthesis.

[0509] B. Generation of Sandalwood cDNA Library

[0510] Total RNA (1.4 μg) of sandalwood xylem was reverse transcribed with SuperScriptIII reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) at 42° C. for 1 hour using SMART-Creator kit (Clontech; SEQ ID NO: 20) with pDNR-LIB vector. The lig...

Embodiment 2

[0514] Identification of nucleic acids encoding sandalwood cytochrome P450 polypeptides

[0515] The assembled sequence (from Example 1) was compared with a set of known plant P450-encoding genes from CYP76 family P450 proteins by using BLASTx search (blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov; Altschul et al. (1990) JMolBiol 215:403-410). Comparisons were performed to identify cytochrome P450-encoding genes.

[0516] Table 4 below provides a summary of the seven isolated sequences identified in the BLASTx search (blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov; Altschul et al. (1990) JMolBiol 215:403-410), including the isolated sequence, lowest E value, P450 Matching gene IDs, CYP450 families, and number of reads in the database. The E-value (Expected Value) describes the number of matches expected to occur at random with a given score. In general, the smaller the E value, the greater the possibility of a significant match.

Embodiment 3

[0520] Isolation of cDNA encoding cytochrome P450

[0521] Group 1 and Group 2 cDNA molecules of the CYP76 family identified in Example 2 (numbers 1 to 5 in the table above) were selected for cDNA isolation.

[0522] A. Cloning of CYP76 family members

[0523] Amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using gene-specific primers designed according to the ORFs of Group 1 and Group 2 (shown in Table 5 below) and using Phusion Hot Start II DNA polymerase (ThermoScientific) as per Example Full-length cDNA molecule of sandalwood cDNA (shown in SEQ ID NO: 1) prepared as described in 1. The PCR conditions are as follows:

[0524] 98°C for 3 minutes;

[0525] 2 cycles: 98°C for 10 seconds, Tm-2°C for 20 seconds, 72°C for 30 seconds;

[0526] 30 cycles: 98°C for 10 seconds, Tm for 20 seconds, 72°C for 30 seconds;

[0527] Final extension: 7 minutes at 72°C.

[0528] The Tm of the isogroup 1 is 55°C, and the Tm of the isogroup 2 is 52°C. The PCR product was gel purified and cl...
