Farnesyl phosphate synthase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis pathway of sequiterpenoids, which play an important role in tobacco pathogen-resistance response. By RT-PCR technology, the cDNA of fps gene of Menthor spicata L was cloned and sequenced. The result demonstrated that the sequence of coding region was 1 050 bp,encodes a protein of 349 amino acid. In order to transfer fps gene into tobacco, plant expressing vector pBinARfps was constructed.
