- the amplified fragment obtained by PCR was sequenced and confirmed to be identical with the amino acid sequence of NOMT, the amplified fragment was labeled with ECL (Amersham). Next, using this labeled fragment as an ECL probe, colony hybridization was performed on the rice genomic BAC library constructed in Example 1, and as a result, six positive clones were obtained.
- This clone was cultured, and the obtained BAC plasmid was digested with a restriction enzyme HindIII, followed by Southern hybridization. As a result, about 15 kbp positive band having a strong signal was detected in three clones (25-4C, 7-4D, 58-1A). Therefore, this positive band (about 8 kb) was excised from the 25-4C clone with Spel and introduced into a large-capacity binary single vector pBI GRZ. Since the pBIGRZ vector has a low copy number, it can stably maintain an insert of lOkbp or more in Escherichia coli, agrobacterium, etc. It can be directly introduced by the pattermim method, and by using an appropriate primer, direct sequencing can be performed from anywhere in the reinsert.
- the obtained clone is cloned using primers designed based on the sequence of the fragment amplified by PCR with the primers F2 and R2 previously prepared, and primers on both sides of the cloning site.

- the present invention provides rice NOMT genomic DNA and DNA having substantially the function of the DNA (that is, the function of expressing a protein having NOMT activity when introduced into rice cells). Since many plants have naringenin, which is a substrate of NOMT, introduction of the DNA of the present invention into plants makes it possible to derive sakuranetin from naringenin in plants, thereby providing excellent antibacterial activity to plants. Can be provided. In addition, since cDNA can be used for large-scale synthesis in Escherichia coli, sakuranetin can be synthesized from naringenin, which can be obtained relatively easily.
- the present invention also provides a DNA having a promoter activity. Since the DNA of the present invention has a promoter activity, it can be used as a promoter when a foreign gene is introduced into a host.
