Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the biology field of the second education, genetics has become more important along with development of genome sciences. However, it is very difficult to incorporate genetics experiments into general lectures because of its time-consuming process. For example, even Drosophila takes one month to observe F2 generation, although Drosophila has relative short life span. In this study, I developed a series of morning glory strains carrying recessive mutations as heterozygous states. Mutations of these strains show phenotypes of cotyledon shapes, colors and size, therefore, genetics experiments using these strains can be completed within one week. These morning glory strains can be applied for various genetics experiments as follows: simple Mendelian experiments, double and triple hybrids, linkage and calculation of recombination rate, exceptional segregation rates accounting for genetic interactions.
