The object of the present invention is to provide DNA and RNA designed on the basis of the sequence of an enzyme gene for repressing the expression of the enzyme gene generating a lachrymatory factor from a precursor of the lachrymatory factor, and also a vector required for introducing DNA for repressing the expression of the gene of the lachrymatory factor-producing enzyme into a vegetable. The present invention relates to DNA comprising at least one sequence selected from the following sequences and
a regulatory sequence connected to said sequence so as to make the transcription possible:
(a) a DNA sequence encoding a protein or a polypeptide of a lachrymatory factor-producing enzyme or a part of the DNA sequence in a sense orientation, an antisense orientation or both the orientations, wherein the protein or the polypeptide has an effect of converting 1-propenylsulfenic acid into the lachrymatory factor;
(b) a regulatory sequence of a DNA in a vegetable genome determined on the basis of the DNA encoding the protein or the polypeptide of the lachrymatory factor-producing enzyme or a part of the regulatory sequence in a sense orientation, an antisense orientation or both the orientations; and
(c) a DNA sequence located between the DNA encoding the protein or the polypeptide of the lachrymatory factor-producing enzyme and the regulatory sequence of the DNA in the vegetable genome DNA determined on the basis of the DNA encoding the protein or the polypeptide of the lachrymatory factor-producing enzyme or a part of the DNA sequence in a sense orientation, an antisense orientation or both the orientations.
