Abstract
Provided is loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes and a Fagopyrum plant using the same. Loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes have been produced by: identifying granule bound starch synthase genes highly expressed in endosperm of a Fagopyrum plant from among granule bound starch synthase genes identified from mapping results of a genomic sequence of the Fagopyrum plant; and allowing the granule bound starch synthase genes thus identified to lose a function by mutagenesis, and a Fagopyrum plant has been produced which is a double-recessive homozygote homozygously having the loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes.

Loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes produced by:
- identifying two granule bound starch synthase genes highly expressed in endosperm of a Fagopyrum plant from among five granule bound starch synthase genes identified from mapping results of a genomic sequence of the Fagopyrum plant;
- and
- allowing the two granule bound starch synthase genes thus identified to lose a function by mutagenesis.
A Fagopyrum plant which is a double-recessive homozygote homozygously having loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes produced by:
- identifying granule bound starch synthase genes highly expressed in endosperm of a Fagopyrum plant from among granule bound starch synthase genes identified from mapping results of a genomic sequence of the Fagopyrum plant;
- and
- allowing the granule bound starch synthase genes thus identified to lose a function by mutagenesis.
