Method for regulating expression of specific protein using cytokinin-responsive transcription factor, isoprenoid-producing plant having gene encoding cytokinin-responsive transcription factor introduced therein, and method for producing polyisoprenoid using said isoprenoid-producing plant

摘要

The present invention provides a method for enhancing the overall pathway of polyisoprenoid biosynthesis. The present invention further provides an isoprenoid-producing plant having an overall enhanced pathway of polyisoprenoid biosynthesis, and a method of producing a polyisoprenoid using such an isoprenoid-producing plant. The present invention relates to a method of regulating by a cytokinin-responsive transcription factor the expression of at least one protein selected from the group consisting of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase, isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase, cis-prenyltransferase, and small rubber particle protein.
