METHOD OF IMPARTING OR CONTROLLING FERTILITY WITH THE USE OF FERTILITY RESTORING GENE FOR RICE BT-MALE STERILITY CYTOPLASM AND METHOD OF JUDGING THE EXISTENCE OF FERTILITY RESTORING GENE

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for providing and inhibiting the rice fertility to the rice BT type cytoplasmic male sterility, and discerning the presence of the rice restorer gene. The present invention employs a nucleic acid having the base sequence of SEQ ID NO.27, or a nucleic acid having a base sequence which is identical to at least 70% of the base sequence of SEQ ID NO.27, and which functions to restore fertility. Alternatively, a nucleic acid having the base sequence of bases 38538-54123 of SEQ ID NO.27, or having a base sequence which is identical to at least 70% of the base sequence of bases 38538-54123 of SEQ ID NO.27, and which functions to restore fertility, is used.
