cDNA clones encoding squalene synthases were isolated from rice, maize and soybeans. A phylogenetic tree showed that the enzymes of monocots and dicots form distinct subgroups. In rice, squalene synthase mRNA was detected in tissues containing dividing cells and its level was repressed by illumination.
从水稻、玉米和大豆中分离出了编码鲨烯合酶的cDNA克隆。系统发育树显示单子叶植物和双子叶植物的酶形成了不同的亚组。在水稻中,在含有分裂细胞的组织中检测到鲨烯合酶mRNA,其水平受光照抑制。
