Abstract
The present invention relates to identification and isolation of zinc finger transcription factor in tomato that specifically expresses in glandular trichomes ofcultivar Moneymaker and binds to the promoters of the genes encoding Terpene Synthase 5 (also known as Monoterpene Synthase 1) and Terpene Synthase 11 (also known as Sesquiterpene Synthase 1). The invention provides the isolated, recombinant or synthetic polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide sequences of SEQ ID NO:2 and variants and fragments thereof. The invention also provides constructs, vectors, host cells and plants genetically modified to contain the polynucleotides of the invention. The methods for producing plants with altered levels of terpenes, including transformed and mutant plants, are also provided.
