PLANT SYSTEM FOR COMPREHENSIVE GENE FUNCTION ANALYSIS WITH THE USE OF FULL-LENGTH cDNA

摘要

A gene causative of a phenotype is easily specified and thus gene functions are comprehensively analyzed. A method for analyzing a gene function comprises: (a) infecting a plant group with a full-length cDNA library containing an expression regulatory sequence to introduce the cDNA into the plants; (b) selecting a plant complying with desired selection requirements from the plants having the cDNA introduced thereinto; (c) isolating the cDNA from the selected plant; and (d) re-introducing the thus isolated cDNA into a plant of the same species as the plant into which the cDNA has been introduced, to reconfirm a phenotype according to the selection requirements.
