Molecular Cloning and Functional Analysis of DXS and FPS Genes from Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.

ABSTRACT: Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim. (Z. bungeanum) has attracted attention for its rich aroma. The aroma of Z. bungeanum is mainly volatile terpenes synthesized by plant terpene metabolic pathways. However, there is little information on Z. bungeanum terpene metabolic gene. In this study, the coding sequence of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS) and farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPS) were cloned from Z. bungeanum cv. 'Fengxiandahongpao.' ZbDXS and ZbFPS genes from Z. bungeanum with CDS lengths of 2172 bp and 1029 bp, respectively. The bioinformatics results showed that Z. bungeanum was closely related to citrus, and it was deduced that ZbFPS were hydrophilic proteins without the
