Molecular characterization of ginseng farnesyl diphosphate synthase gene and its up-regulation by methyl jasmonate

We isolated a gene encoding for farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPS) from Panax ginseng, a species that produces a large quantity of triterpene saponins such as ginsenosides. The deduced amino acid sequence of PgFPS was 77, 84 and 95 % identical to those of Arabidopsis, Hevea, and Centella. Southern...
