Abstract: The present invention relates to fusion polynucleotides for biosynthesis of beta-carotene and a method for producing beta-carotene using the same. More particularly, it relates to fusion polynucleotides encoding phytoene synthase, connective sequences of FMDV-derived 2A sequence or internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and carotene desaturase, and a method for producing beta-carotenes using the same. Fusion polynucleotides and the recombinant vector using the same of the present invention have the effect of expression both phytoene synthase gene and carotene desaturase gene stably within cell transformants. Accordingly, fusion polynucleotides of the present invention can be used to regulate the biosynthetic metabolism of plant producing beta-carotene. Furthermore, it can be applied to effectively increase the content of beta-carotene, a useful metabolite.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel constitutive promoter of plant, particularly to a putative lipase promoter Lip3 derived from Arabidopsis, a method for isolating the same, a recombinant expression vector containing the same and a use of the same for improving traits of a farm product. The constitutive promoter of the present invention can be applied to induce a constitutive gene expression such as herbicide resistance gene and reporter gene, because it can express a foreign gene regardless of its expression site. In addition, it can be widely used to develop a transgenic plant improving its useful trait.
