| 20110088125 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING TRANSGENIC SURFACE LAYER CHIMERIC PLANT - A rose is produced in which an introduced gene is only present in a part of the cells thereof, such as cells of the L1 layer of flower petals, but is not present in germ cells such as pollen cells or ovule cells. Since the introduced gene is not propagated to other roses even when this rose is crossed with other roses, the possibility of dispersal of the introduced gene can be completely negated. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110055963 | Stabilization and blueing of anthocyanin pigments using gene encoding aromatic acyltransferase capable of transferring an aromatic acyl group to the 3'-position of anthocyanin - A method of acylating the 3′ position of anthocyanin using an enzyme that transfers an aromatic acyl group to a sugar at the 3′ position of anthocyanin or a gene encoding the enzyme. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20100199384 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING YELLOW FLOWER BY CONTROLLING FLAVONOID SYNTHETIC PATHWAY - There is provided a gene coding for the amino acid sequence listed as SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 70, for example. Co-expression of the 4′CGT gene and AS gene in a plant lacking natural aurone synthesis ability is carried out to successfully accumulate aurones and alter the flower color to have a yellow tint. In addition to the expression of both genes, the flavonoid pigment synthesis pathway of the host plant itself is inhibited to obtain flowers with a more defined yellow color. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100143914 | METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF PRESENCE OF CROSSING WITH CULTIVATED ROSE IN WILD ROSE - Disclosed is a method for determining whether or not a wild rose of interest is crossed with a cultivated rose. The method comprises the steps of: examining whether or not a KSN gene containing a transposon (an indicator) is contained in the rose of interest; and determining that the rose of interest is crossed with a cultivated rose when the individual has the transposon-containing KSN gene. | 06-10-2010 |
