Phytoene synthase catalyses one of the key steps of the carotenoid biosyntheic pathway. A 572 bp-fragment was isolated from N. tazetta var. chinensis and introduced its anti-sense fragment to pCAMBIA1301 generating pCAM35S-PSY vector which contained CaMV35S promoter. Then, the pCAM35S-PSY was transferred into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404. The result of PCR amplification and restriction digestion showed that the fragment of anti-sense gene PSY was correctly introduced into pCAMBIA1301 plasmid and the expression vector pCAM35S-PSY was successfully transferred into A. tumefaciens.
