Zusammenfassung:According to the present invention, a gene cluster encoding various kinds of prenyl transferase of Hevea brasiliensis is obtained, and the nucleotide sequences of these genes are determined. The prenyl transferases are involved in the biosynthesis of isoprene backbone of natural rubber. Therefore, improvement of productivity of rubber can be expected, by transforming plants by the gene cluster obtained in the present invention.
