Cloning and functional characterization of 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidyltransferase (GbMECT) gene from Ginkgo biloba

2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidyltransferase gene was cloned from Ginkgo biloba and functionally characterized. Transient expression of this protein in the chloroplast of Arabidopsis was observed, confirming its subcellular localization.
