  • Ehd1 gene promoting plant flowering, and utilization thereof
    Patent number: 7361805
    Abstract: A detailed linkage analysis of the Ehd1 region was performed with a large segregating population, essential for map-based cloning. As a result, the Ehd1 gene promoting rice heading (flowering) was successfully isolated. Rice heading time was also found to be altered upon introduction of this gene. Based on these facts, the newly isolated and identified Ehd1 gene is expected to be useful in promoting plant flowering.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 22, 2008
    Assignee: National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences
    Inventors: Masahiro Yano, Takuichi Fuse, Utako Yamanouchi, Atsushi Yoshimura, Kazuyuki Doi
  • Plant photoperiod sensitivity gene and use of the same
    Patent number: 7253339
    Abstract: A rice photosensitivity gene Hd1 is successfully isolated by linkage analysis. It is found out that the photosensitivity of a plant can be modified by transferring this gene or controlling the expression thereof. It is further found out that the photosensitivity of a plant can be evaluated by examining the presence/absence of this functional gene.
