| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using the duskish mutant of Japanese morning glory as a model, transposon-induced epigenetic variation and its impact on gene expression were studied. The results outlined the relationship between DNA methylation and histone modifications of a transposon and suppression of the genes for transposition. By decoding the whole genome sequence of the duskish mutant, novel autonomous transposons were identified. Analysis of their transcripts also revealed the structure of the genes for transposition.
