Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine decarboxylase (TyrDC) is an important enzyme in the secondary metabolism of several plant species, and was hypothesized to play a key role in the biosynthesis of salidroside, a pharmacologically valuable compound of roseroot. A 1520bp cDNA was cloned and sequenced, and turned out to contain an ORF of 963bp, which encodes a protein of 320 amino acids. The expression of the gene was studied by real-time...
