Abstract: According to the reported C4H(cinnamate 4-hydroxylase)gene sequence(GenBank accession ID:D87520.1)from Glycyrrhiza echinata,the coding sequence of C4H gene from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch suspension cultured cells was obtained by RT-PCR cloning technology,and the bioinformatics analysis on it was carried out. In addition,the expression patterns of C4H gene induced by methyl jasmonate(MeJA)were analyzed by q-PCR. The length of the cloned C4H’s open reading frame(ORF)was 1 515 bp,encoding 504 amino acids. The q-PCR experiments showed that C4H gene was induced by MeJA and reached the highest expression level at 12 h after MeJA added into the cell suspension system.
