Method for producing isoprenoid, isoprenoid, callus, method for inducing callus, and method for culturing callus

Provided are: a method for stably producing an isoprenoid without relying on an adult tree of Hevea brasiliensis; and an isoprenoid which is obtained by the production method. Also provided are: a novel callus which is capable of producing an isoprenoid; a method for inducing the callus; and a method for culturing the callus. The present invention relates to: a method for producing an isoprenoid, wherein an isoprenoid is biosynthesized by means of a callus of an isoprenoid-producing plant; and an isoprenoid which is obtained by the production method. The present invention also relates to: a callus which is induced by culturing tissue fragments of an isoprenoid-producing plant in an induction medium that contains a plant growth hormone and a carbon source; a method for inducing a callus, wherein a callus is induced by culturing tissue fragments of an isoprenoid-producing plant in an induction medium that contains a plant growth hormone and a carbon source; and a method for culturing a callus, wherein a callus is grown by culturing a callus of an isoprenoid-producing plant in a growing medium that contains a plant growth hormone and a carbon source.
