| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Torenia is a summer bedding plant that has excellent cultivation characteristics such as tolerance to high temperature and adaptability to a wide range of light conditions from shade to sun. However, since there are only single- and small-flowered cultivars, the variation of ornamentality is relatively poor. In this study, the integration of four different types of mutations caused by transposon successfully induced double flowers with a large number of radially-arranged petals. In addition, the underlying morphological features and molecular mechanisms of the double flower were partially elucidated.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年の地球温暖化により、夏の花壇用花卉には強い耐暑性が求められている。強い耐暑性を持つトレニアが、本研究で育成された完全八重系統を育種素材として用いることによって高い観賞性を備えれば、夏花壇の設計に、より多様な選択肢を提供できるようになる。また、異なった4種類のトランスポゾン誘発変異を組み合わせることで著しく花弁数が増加し、花弁の配列が放射状になる現象の形態的特徴ならびに分子機構を一部明らかにした。この知見は、花卉育種技術の発展に資するものである。
