The invention discloses a
gene GbCYP701A6 for promoting synthesis of
ginkgo terpene lactones and application of the
gene GbCYP701A6. The
nucleotide sequence of the
gene GbCYP701A6 is shown as SEQ ID NO.1, and the
amino acid sequence of
protein expressed by the gene GbCYP701A6 is shown as SEQ ID NO.2. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the gene GbCYP701A6. According to the invention, a brand new gene GbCYP701A6 is cloned from gingko for the first time. The GbCYP701A6 gene is transferred into a
ginkgo biloba body, the GbCYP701A6 gene is over-expressed, the contents of
terpene lactones including
ginkgolide A,
ginkgolide B,
ginkgolide C and
bilobalide in
ginkgo biloba are remarkably increased, and the contents of the ginkgolide A,
ginkgolide B,
ginkgolide C and
bilobalide are remarkably reduced when the gene is silently expressed, so that the gene is a key gene for promoting synthesis of the ginkgo
terpene lactones, and the GbCYP701A6 gene can be used for preparing the
ginkgo biloba terpene lactones. Therefore, the regulation and control of the expression of the GbCYP701A6 has important application value in the aspects of improving the medicinal quality of the ginkgo leaves and the like.
