Abstract

Disclosed are isolated β-amyrin synthase-encoding cDNA and genomic nucleic acids, which are involved in saponin synthesis. Also provided are complementary sequences, vectors, transformed host cells, transformed plants, and methods for influencing or affecting triterpene synthesis, and hence resistance to a fungal pathogen of a plant using β-amyrin synthase encoding nucleic acids.
