Description

This technology provides 100,000 kinds of T-DNA insertional mutant line of Japonica rice and a database that contains information necessary for analyzing the function of rice genes. About 50,000 kinds of rice line obtained by activation tagging vector can induce dominant mutagenesis. In addition, 30,000 kinds of rice lines are obtained to induce recessive knock-out mutagenesis. The mutant lines also include various mutant lines regardless of inserted T-DNA, which provides a resource of breeding a new rice strain. The mutant lines can be applied for screening genes which can be effectively used for analyzing function of rice gene and their industrial application. Also, the mutant lines can be used for breeding a useful rice variety.
