| Research Abstract |
In order to make transgenic animals and plants which are controlled by light, we at first cloned new receptors which respond to light from the chick and strawberry. We identified chicken opsin 5 and strawberry phototropin and attempted to use as tools for optogenetics. Although we have attempted to make transgenic crickets and transgenic strawberries, we have not succeeded yet in making the transgenic animals and plants, because of unexpected technical problems. We now continue making them.
