  • 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2023
    Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA
    Inventors: Akari Nakasone, Yasuyo Shimamoto, Madoka Abe, Satoshi Kondo, Sumire Fujiwara, Tomoko Niki, Kaoru Suzuki, Nobutaka Mitsuda, Yoshimi Nakano
  • 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.
    Type: Grant
