| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genetically modified plants are produced by introducing extracellular genes to a single cell from plant tissues and regenerate the cell to a whole plant. However, some species cannot be produced since their regeneration efficiencies are too low. In this study, we identified proteins that interact with a switch protein for transition form unorganized dividing cells to meristematic cells producing leaves and stems. The proteins may cooperatively control the transition with the switch protein. Also, over expression of cytokinin synthesis genes up-regulate ESR1 expression.
