Compared with Kasal ath, more than 60 nucleotide substitutions and deletions were found in Nippon Haru Taichu No. 65 and more than 140 in IRGC104038 (Fig. 6).
- IRGC104038, Kasalath, Nipponbare and Taichu 65 Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the products revealed that 7 amino acids were substituted between IRGC104038 and Taichu 65, 2 amino acids between Kasalath and Taichu 65, and 1 amino acid between Nipponbare and Taichu 65. (Fig. 7). Of these, the substitution of arginine (R: Taichung 65) from 219th amino acid glycine (G: IRGC1 04038, Kasalath, Nipponbare) was the only mutation occurring in Taichung 65 (Fig. 7). This glycine was highly conserved among known ARR gene families. From these facts, it was presumed that this amino acid mutation was involved in the reduction of the function of EM1 derived from Taichung 65.

- Fig. 8 Such a circadian variation in the gene expression level is a phenomenon often observed in genes involved in photosensitivity, and it is speculated that this Ehdl gene is involved in light signal transmission in some form.
- the modification of flowering time (heading time) in rice breeding has been performed by (1) selection of early and late strains by crossing, and (2) mutagenesis by radiation or lignological substances. These operations have problems such as that they require a long time and that the degree and direction of mutation cannot be controlled.
- a new method for modifying the flowering time of a plant by using the isolated Ehdl gene has been established. Therefore, it is possible to promote short-day heading (flowering) of rice by transforming the gene with a sense strand into a plant variety in which the function of the Ehdl gene has been lost, for example, rice Taichu No. 65. it can.
- flowering is delayed by suppressing the expression of the endogenous Ehdl gene by introducing the Ehdl gene in the antisense direction into plant varieties that retain the function of the Ehdl gene, such as rice Nipponbare or Kasalath. Can be done.
- This change is expected to occur not only under short-day conditions but also under long-day conditions or natural growth conditions, and is therefore effective in regulating the flowering time under cultivation conditions.
- the time required for transformation is much shorter than that of transfection by crossing, and it is possible to change the flowering time without changing other traits.
