| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using introgression lines of the cultivated species and the wild species of tomato, loci related to formaldehyde detoxication had been identified. Among the genes in the candidate loci, higher or lower expressed genes in the wild species, including peroxiredoxin, UDP glucosyltransferase and cytochrome P450, were identified as candidate genes for formaldehyde detoxication. On the other hand, we confirmed that the overexpression of formaldehyde dehydrogenase in Arabidopsis increased resistance and absorbing capacity of formaldehyde.
