Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for inferring a plant organ, in which a certain gene is to be expressed, using a part of a base sequence, a method for searching for a gene which is to be expressed at a desired site, and a composition, kit, system and program for carrying out these methods. The present invention also relates to a method for inferring a plant organ, in which a plant gene is to be expressed, based on information about the presence or absence of a base sequence which is highly similar to a transposable element in the vicinity of a protein coding region of a plant gene.
Claims9
A method for detecting a gene which is expressed in a flower and other organs in a rice plant, comprising the steps of:
- (1) searching a gene population using a Tourist C transposon sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 as a key sequence,
- (2) selecting a gene having the transposon sequence in the vicinity of a putative protein coding region, and
- (3) detecting expression of said gene in the flower and other organs.
A method for inferring an organ of a rice plant containing a flower and other organs in which a gene is expressed, comprising the step of:
- (1) obtaining information about whether or not a base sequence of a Tourist C transposable element sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 is present in the vicinity of the gene and when the sequence is present in the vicinity of the gene, inferring that the gene is expressed in the plant organ containing a flower relating to the Tourist C transposable element sequence.
