Abstract: Provided are an Leg1 protein, an Leg1 gene, uses and drugs thereof, which relate to the technical field of the functions and uses of genes. Very comprehensive study has been conducted on the functions of mLeg1 gene by approaches in Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Cell biology, with mLeg1 knockout mice as the subject. The study results show that mLeg1 protein can regulate in vivo Akt signals through EGFR, and further regulate in vivo lipogenesis. The study results provide a new means and idea for the treatment of human obesity and physical recovery of cancer patients after chemotherapy by human intervention in the expression level of hLeg1 gene and hLeg1 protein in the later period.

Abstract: The wheat Rht gene and homologues from other species including rice and maize (the D8 gene), useful for modification of growth and/or development characteristics of plants. Transgenic plants and methods and means for their production.

Abstract: The GAI gene of Arabidopsis thaliana has been cloned, along with mutant and homologue gene sequences. Expression of such genes in plants affects characteristics of the plants including growth. GAI expression inhibits growth of plants, which inhibition is antagonised by gibberellin (GA). Expression of gai mutants confers a dwarf phenotype which is GA-insensitive. Manipulation of expression of GAI and gai genes in plants results in tall or dwarfed plants. Dwarf plants are useful in particular for reduction in crop losses resulting from lodging.
