Abstract
A PPAT polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 derived from Jatropha, a PPAT polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 2 and so on were found. By transforming Jatropha with these PPAT polynucleotides, it is possible to overexpress the PPAT polypeptide in comparison with a wild type, and biosynthesis of coenzyme A is promoted by these polypeptides, the metabolic function and viability of the transformed Jatropha are enhanced, and for example, stress resistance can be significantly improved.
Claims11
An isolated polynucleotide selected from the following polynucleotides:
- (a) a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- and
- (b) a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence having a homology of 90% or higher with the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide of (a), wherein a polypeptide encoded thereby maintains stress resistance of the polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide of (a).
