Resveratrol synthase (RS) plays a key role in resveratrol (Res) biosynthesis. RS gene has been formerly reported to be transformed into many plant species and microorganisms, and to play certain roles in metabolic and regulation processes. In this paper, the transformations of RS gene in plants, and the related changes of biological properties, such as metabolites, anti-pathogen activities, anti-radical properties, and developmental characters in transgenic plants, as well as the production of resveratrol in microbes by utilizing RS gene were summarized. Moreover, the application prospects of RS gene in bioengineering were also addressed.
白藜芦醇合酶（RS）在白藜芦醇（Res）生物合成中起关键作用。此前已有报道称RS基因已被转入多种植物物种和微生物中，并在代谢和调控过程中发挥一定作用。本文综述了RS基因在植物中的转化，以及转基因植物中生物特性的相关变化，如代谢产物、抗病原体活性、抗自由基特性和发育特征，以及利用RS基因在微生物中生产白藜芦醇的情况。此外，还探讨了RS基因在生物工程中的应用前景。
