  • Transformed plant and flowering regulation method using flowering-inducing gene
    Patent number: 11814634
    Abstract: Novel sugarcane-derived flowering-inducing genes each encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4 (the ScFT6 gene and the ScZCN16 gene), by which the flowering time is accelerated more slowly than conventionally known flowering-inducing genes, are provided.

  • COMPOSITION AND FUNCTIONAL FOOD PRODUCT COMPRISING GREEN TEA EXTRACT
    Publication number: 20230092815
    Abstract: The present disclosure is intended to enhance various effects of a green tea extract such as catechin in the most effective manner. The ratio (B/A) of epigallocatechin gallate (A) contained in the green tea extract and flavanone glycoside (B) contained in the citrus extract is 0.2<B/A<1.6, or a ratio (C/A) of epigallocatechin gallate (A) and eriocitrin (C) contained in the citrus extract is 0.2<C/A<0.5.

  • Mutant-type flowering-inducing gene, transformed plant having the mutant-type flowering-inducing gene, and flowering regulation method using the mutant-type flowering-inducing gene
    Patent number: 11408010
    Abstract: A mutant-type flowering-inducing gene encoding a protein comprising an amino acid sequence in which tyrosine corresponding to the tyrosine at position 85 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 is substituted by a different amino acid, whereby flowering time is accelerated more slowly than conventionally known flowering-inducing genes, is provided.
