Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the plant genome, de novo origination of genes or transcribed regions is occasionally caused by the integration of foreign DNA fragments. To clarify this mechanism, we tried to develop new comprehensive method for the detection of epigenetic states of the reporter genes that were randomly integrated into the plant genome. As a result, we succeeded in the development of a prototypic experimental system, and found that majority of foreign genes acquired transcriptional competence not by the intrinsic promoters in the upstream region of foreign genes but by the novel transcriptional activation mechanism.
