摘要:
Isolation of the cDNA encoding the ACC synthase of zucchini using a novel isolation method permits the recovery of ACC synthase genes from a variety of higher plant sources. The ACC synthases are coded by multigene families, the members of which may be responsible for various plant development characteristics effected by ethylene. Recombinant production of ACC synthase and thereby in vitro production of ACC, ethylene and ethanol is also enabled by use of this gene. In addition, control of the processes in plants which are mediated by ACC synthase can be effected using antisense technology or by the use of mutated ACC synthase genes.
