| Research Abstract |
For the establishment of a high efficient gene targeting system via homologous recombination (HR) in higher plants, chemicals that can increase HR frequency were screened. Among 237 kinds of chemicals, 15 chemicals that can increase HR frequency were successfully selected using model system to estimate HR frequency in Arabidopsis plants. The expression analysis of Rad51 gene, which is reported to be induced by DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) showed that 3 chemicals can enhance HR frequency without further inducing DSBs.
