A PROTEIN CONTROLLING RICE TILLER, A GENE ENCODING THE PROTEIN AND A METHOD OF MANIPULATING PLANT TILLER OR BRANCHING USING THE GENE

摘要

The present invention provides a protein controlling rice tiller or branching which has a amino acid sequence shown by SEQ ID NO: 2 or a functional analog sequence thereof obtained by substitution, deletion, or addition of one or more amino acids of SEQ ID No: 2, wherein the functional analog is still able to control rice tiller or branching. The present invention also provides a nucleotide sequence encoding the protein, a vector containing this nucleotide sequence and a method of manipulating rice tiller or branching using the vector.
