Abstract: L-phenylalanine N-hydroxylase is the first enzyme which catalyze the biosynthesis of benzylisothiocyanate (BITC) in plant. According to the sequences of CYP79A2 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana (NM120608) and Brassica rapa(EU877074)from GenBank and combining with the genome draft of the transgenic tropical fruit tree papaya,specific primers were designed and RT-PCR was used to amplify partial sequences of CYP79A2 gene from papaya young leaves. The sequence includes 923bp,which named CPCYP79A2. Bioinformatics analysis results showed that the frgment is the partial sequences of CYP79A2 gene of papaya. The data set a strong basis for the study of the biosynthetic regulation of BITC in papaya.
