NOVELTY - A plant cell having increased production of at least one terpenoid native to a plant, is new. The plant cell is obtained by expressing in a plant cell a heterologous nucleic acid encoding for (a) 3-hydroxy-3-methyl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, (b) 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase, (c) farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, and (d) beta -farnesene synthase, where production of the at least one terpenoid is significantly increased when compared to a wild-type plant cell not encoding the heterologous nucleic acids.    USE - The plant cell is useful in production of fuel (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The plant cell enables to prepare fuel without requiring harsh pretreatment steps, saccharification and fermentation, thus reducing the expensive infrastructure needed for biofuel production. The fuel has unique properties such as immiscibility with water, thus avoiding expensive distillation processes needed to concentrate fuel produced by starch and cellulosic technologies. Compared to current biodiesel production, extraction of beta -farnesene from biomass and conversion to farnesane requires a simple extraction process, reducing overall production cost, and conversion of beta -farnesene to farnesane is a one-step hydrogenation process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A plant cell having increased production of at least one terpenoid native to a plant, is new. The plant cell is obtained by expressing in a plant cell a heterologous nucleic acid encoding for (a) 3-hydroxy-3-methyl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, (b) 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase, (c) farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, and (d) beta -farnesene synthase, where production of the at least one terpenoid is significantly increased when compared to a wild-type plant cell not encoding the heterologous nucleic acids. The plant cell comprises heterologous nucleic acids derived from a plant and encoding for (a) HMG-CoA reductase, (b) 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase, (c) farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, and (d) beta -farnesene synthase, where production of at least one terpenoid is significantly increased when compared to a wild-type plant cell not expressing the heterologous nucleic acids. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for fuel, which comprises terpenoid, or made by the plant cell.
