| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We screened the downstream candidates of a specific transcription factor, which regulates the polarization of the zygote and the axis formation of the early embryo in a model plant, Arabidopsis. Based on the transcriptome analysis using next generation sequence, we identified 27 candidates, including various factors, such as the putative regulator for the organelle structure or for the transport of a major plant hormone. We analyzed the mutants of these genes, and found that several lines are defective in embryo morphology and are embryo lethal in single or multiple mutants.
