Abstract
A gene is provided that encodes an amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 14 originating in, for example, Arabidopsis thaliana.
Claims14
A gene encoding a protein having cytokinin synthesis activity and an amino acid sequence described in SEQ ID NO. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 14.
A gene encoding a protein having cytokinin synthesis activity and which has a modified amino acid sequence resulting from the addition and/or deletion of one or a plurality of amino acids and/or substitution by other amino acids in SEQ ID NO. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 14.
A gene encoding a protein having cytokinin synthesis activity and which hybridizes with a nucleic acid or portion thereof having a nucleotide sequence described in SEQ ID NO. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 or 13 under stringent conditions.
A method for searching for a plant gene that encodes an isopentenyl group transferase based on homology with the amino acid sequence GxTxxGK[ST]xxxxx[VLI]xxxxxxx[VLI][VLI]xxDxxQx[57,60][VLI] [VLI]xGG[ST] (where, x indicates an arbitrary amino acid residue, amino acid residues enclosed in brackets [ ] indicate which one of the amino acid residues contained therein, and [a,b] indicates the number of arbitrary types of amino acid residues greater than or equal to a but less than or equal to b).
