| Research Abstract |
I have focused PHYE in Cardamine nipponica that have two alleles distinguished by several amino acid replacements in wild populations. At first, I succeed cloning PHYE into a vector to induce protein synthesis in E. coli. In particular, I made chimeric constructions that exchanged some amino acid replacements between alleles. In addition, I made construct of PHYE to apply transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana. Because PHYE is a large gene (ca. 3600 bp in protein coding region), I took much time for cloning and failed to obtain sufficient data about functional differences of alleles of PHYE. Nevertheless, my progress could contribute future work to unravel functional differences of alleles found in wild populations.
