The invention concerns a method for producing terpenes of interest in plants having glandular trichomes, as well as plants useful for producing said terpenes of interest. Said plants comprise a sequence encoding a heterologous terpene synthase under the control of a promoter enabling it to be specifically expressed in the trichomes. Moreover, the pathway for producing endogenous diterpenes is preferably blocked in the trichomes of the plants, to increase the flow in the heterologous pathway. The secretion of heterologous terpenes is spontaneous resulting in easy collection. The present invention also concerns plants exhibiting a blocked production of a compound having antibiotic properties at the surface of leaves exhibiting enhanced efficiency of transformation by a bacterium.

The mixed gel of the invention can be used to prepare injection for beauty care and medical treatment and has the characteristics of long hold time and little side effect.

There is shown a method of purifying glacial acetic acid containing terpene and terpenoid impurities. Substantially dry acetic acid containing terpene and terpenoid impurities is combined with water and a suitable organic solvent, which is substantially immiscible with acetic acid and water, to form a separating composite extraction medium having a weight ratio of acetic acid:water of at least 1:1. The components are separated into an organic phase and an aqueous acid phase, with the terpene and terpenoid impurities concentrated in the organic phase, and with the aqueous acid phase purified of terpene and terpenoid impurities. The purified aqueous acid phase is recovered, and the purified acetic acid is dried.

A lighter fluid composition usable for starting barbecues and the like that comprises naturally occurring combustible materials, which is clean burning and results in low volatile organic compound (VOC) emission during combustion, which is biodegradable and easily disposable, and which burns with a pleasant aroma and does not impart any unpleasant hydrocarbon odor or flavor to food cooked on a barbecue.

The invention discloses a gene promoter of ginseng PgPDR3 responded by methyl jasmonate and an application thereof. The sequences of the gene promoter of the ginseng PgPDR3 are shown in SEQ ID NO.1, or are the DNA sequences of which the homology with SEQ ID NO.1 is over 99%. According to the invention, a Genomewalker technology is adopted to clone, later the sequences of the gene promoter of the PDR transport protein is obtained, and then the expression vector Pcambia1301-ProPDR3::GUS of the promoter is built; if the promoter in the transgenic tobacco drives the GUS to express, and can be controlled by ginsenoside, salicylic acid, gibberellins and abscisic acid, the promoter participates in the transport and accumulation of the ginsenoside, which provides a basis for cloning the gene of key control recording factor in the ginsenoside transport signal pathway and controlling the transport and accumulation of the terpenoid, such as ginsenoside; and fine plants containing rich ginsenoside can be obtained by using a method for controlling or improving the ginseng and other plants via the promoter or the derivative thereof.
