Abstract
A gene relating to the regeneration ability of plants was successfully isolated and identified using linkage analysis. Furthermore, methods for breeding highly regenerative varieties, methods for transforming unculturable varieties, and methods for selecting transformed cells, wherein these methods utilize this gene, were also discovered. The present invention is useful in fields such as cultivar improvement and gene analysis that uses transformation methods.
Claims22
An isolated DNA involved in the regeneration ability of plants, wherein the DNA is selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a DNA encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3;
- (b) a DNA comprising a coding region of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2;
- (c) a DNA encoding a protein comprising an amino acid sequence with one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, additions, and/or insertions in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3;
- and
- (d) a DNA that hybridizes under stringent conditions with a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2.
An isolated DNA encoding a partial peptide of a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3.
An isolated DNA comprising a promoter region of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID:
- 1 or 2.
An isolated polynucleotide comprising at least 15 continuous nucleotides that are complementary to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2, or a sequence complementary thereto.
