Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study I aimed at the accumulation of the basic knowledge for making of the ‘teaching materials kit’ using a novel herbicide resistance gene from a viewpoint that the making of the concrete teaching materials was effective to deepen the scientific understanding about the genetically-modified (GM) crops and to promote the rational judgment for the GM crops. To achieve the purpose I accomplished genetic analysis and valuable results such as identifying a single promising candidate gene of the new herbicide resistance gene were obtained. Attitude surveys relating to the reception of GM crops after the lecture about the GM crops for university undergraduates was carried out. By this survey, the importance of the kit to promote a rational judgment about the GM crops was confirmed. It was also revealed the necessity to reexamine the contents of the kit with regard to the latest knowledge about NBT (New plant Breeding Techniques）.
