| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The CLE gene family shows a wide distribution and functional duplication in various organs, and some of them show important functions in the plant world. At the beginning of the research program, we focused only on the CLV3 signal pathway, which regulates cell proliferation in the shoot apex. However, it is expected to work complementarily since the CLE gene group has similar expression patterns and peptide sequences, so, it is hardly difficult to clarify the functions of these CLE gene pathway without each CLE gene mutants. Therefore, by using the CRISPR method, we established all 32 CLE gene deficient resources. In addition, we found new phenotypes of the double mutant of CLE 41 and CLE 44. These results were published in 2017 issue of Plant and Cell Physiology Journal.
