A 600bp sequence was cloned from lavandula officinalis through RT-PCR by using degenerate primers. After comparing with the sequences in Genebank, the sequence was found to share the highest similarity (76%) with the sequence of linalool synthase. The whole cDNA sequence was cloned through 3’RACE and 5’RACE, and the size is 1809bp. The protein sequence contains 603 residues. comparing the protein sequence with the members of monoterpene synthase family, and the result suggested that the sequence ...
