Definitions
- the present invention relates to the Qsd1 gene that governs the seed dormancy of plants, the determination of the degree of seed dormancy of plants using the gene, and the production of plants with altered dormancy.
- Crod dormancy is one of the environmentally adaptive traits of wild plants, and is particularly important for wild plants in dry areas such as the Middle East, which do not germinate under poor summer conditions.
- cultivated plants usually have low dormancy due to strong agricultural selection that shortens the period from harvesting to sowing, but if the dormancy is too shallow, the sprouting is caused by rainfall during the harvest season and the crop is fatally killed. Quality degradation.
- the dormancy is too deep in brewing barley, it will not germinate uniformly, which will affect the production of malt.
- dormancy of seeds is extremely important from the viewpoint of crop evolution and industry.
- Non-patent Document 1 the homology of the genome has confirmed that a common gene with the seed dormancy gene of barley is also present in wheat. If the dormancy gene of barley is identified, more germination It is expected to be applicable to the control of dormancy in severely damaged wheat.
- Non-Patent Document 2 Four species of seed dormancy QTLs derived from wild barley isolated in hybrid progenies by crossing between cultivated barley “Haruna Nijo” and wild barley “H602” have been identified so far (Non-Patent Document 2), one of which is Qsd1 It is. These QTLs sit on a high-density linkage map based on EST markers (Non-patent Document 3). A marker linked to Qsd1 is known (Patent Document 1).

- a large-scale population that segregates only Qsd1 BC 3 F 2 generation 910 individuals and BC 3 F 3 generation 4,792 individuals was used.
- the barley ESTs in the Qsd1 region are extremely homologous to the rice chromosome 9 gene, the barley ESTs corresponding to the genes in the rice genome were arranged in order to confirm recombination. By carrying out such ingenuity, it was finally possible to narrow down the Qsd1 gene candidates to two candidate genes. However, it was not possible to identify which is the Qsd1 gene.
