  • TRANSFORMED PLANT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING EXUDATE CONTAINING SUGAR USING TRANSFORMED PLANT
    Publication number: 20200071715
    Abstract: The production of exudate containing sugar from a plant at a high concentration is provided. A nucleic acid encoding a transporter involved in sugar transportation having a certain consensus sequence derived from the amino acid sequences of the SWEET proteins classified in the clade III is introduced and/or expression of the protein is enhanced.

  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20190221283
    Abstract: With the use of nucleotide sequence data concerning transcription products, transcriptome analysis is performed with higher precision. Concerning a plurality of data sets including the objective variable data and the gene expression level data, a plurality of subdata sets are generated by randomly deleting the gene expression level data, and the method of regularization is applied to the plurality of subdata sets to calculate relevant estimation formulae and then generate the lists of genes included in the estimation formula.

  • Plant variant, method for producing plant variant, and method for accumulating soluble sugar
    Patent number: 9593343
    Abstract: This invention is intended to allow accumulation of large quantities of soluble sugars in tissue other than plant seeds. A plant is modified so as to suppress a gene encoding a subunit exhibiting the highest sequence similarity with the subunit encoded by the AGPL1 gene of rice among subunits constituting.
