The invention discloses a gingerflower
sesquiterpene synthase
gene HcTPS14 and its application. The full-length cDNA sequence of the HcTPS14
gene is shown in SEQ ID NO:1; the coding sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:2; the encoded
amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:3. The HcTPS14
gene is expressed to a certain extent in leaf tissue and
rhizome, but hardly expressed in flower organs, and its expression level is regulated by
leaf development. The exogenous recombinant
protein of HcTPS14, after catalyzing the substrate, can generate α-
caryophyllene, a medicinal ingredient of
sesquiterpene, which can be used to prepare α-
caryophyllene and further prepare essential oils, essences and drugs; connect HcTPS14 to the
plant transformation vector, and then introduce In Ginger Flower or other
plant cells, transgenic plants expressing the gene can be obtained; specific molecular markers can also be produced according to the
gene sequence information of the present invention, for identifying the
sesquiterpene α-Caryophyllum of Ginger Flower or other plants The
alkene synthase gene is used for
molecular marker-assisted selection breeding, thereby improving the selection efficiency of breeding, and has great application prospects.
