Isolation and Functional Characterization of the Promoters of Miltiradiene Synthase Genes, TwTPS27a and TwTPS27b, and Interaction Analysis with the Transcription Factor TwTGA1 from Tripterygium wilfordii

Abstract excerpt

Miltiradiene synthase (MS) genes, TwTPS27a and TwTPS27b, are the key diterpene synthase genes in the biosynthesis of triptolide, which is an important medicinally active diterpenoid in Tripterygium wilfordii. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of key genes TwTPS27a/b in triptolide biosynthesis remains unclear. In this study, the promoters of TwTPS27a (1496 bp) and TwTPS27b (1862 bp) were isolated...
