Abstract: Protoporphyrinogen oxidase having an activity of imparting acifluorfen resistance and gene thereof are provided. Cyanobacterium protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene is identified by introducing a protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene of Arabidopsis into cyanobacterium, disrupting a cyanobacterium gene with a transposon, selecting a mutant strain in which protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene is disrupted, identifying the disrupted protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene, and isolating the disrupted protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene. This procedure is effective as a gene isolation technique when a protein derived from other organism species that is homologous to a known protein (e.g., protoporphyrinogen oxidase from cyanobacterium) can not be found in a gene database of the other species.

Abstract: A gas generator composition is provided which burns stably and has a high burning rate at low temperature ranges while maintaining its performance such as specific impulse when used in the propulsive engine. Furthermore, a gas generator composition whose dependence on pressure and temperature is small is provided. The gas generator comprises an aliphatic polyether having azidomethyl groups and hydroxyl groups, a curing agent for curing the aliphatic polyether, an oxidizer for conducting oxidation reaction, and a burning rate modifier for modulating the burning rate based on the oxidation reaction. As the aliphatic polyether a bifunctional or polyfunctional compound having a particular structure is employed. As the curing agent a polyfunctional isocyanate compound or polyisocyanate compound is employed. As the oxidizer a perchlorate such as ammonium perchlorate is preferred, and as a burning rate modifier an iron compound such as ferric oxide is preferred.
