TRANSPIRATION INHIBITOR

摘要

A transpiration inhibitor which contains, as the active ingredient, a nucleic acid encoding a heat shock protein originating in a salt-tolerant blue-green alga; a transpiration inhibitor which contains a nucleic acid encoding a protein selected form among a protein/enzyme participating in the control of photosynthesis, a protein/enzyme controlling the size of a plant, a protein/enzyme promoting root elongation, a protein/enzyme promoting the growth of a plant and a protein/enzyme enhancing the stability of an RNA or a nucleic acid comprising an antisense sequence of the same; utilization of the transpiration inhibitor as described above for improving photosynthesis efficiency; and a method of inhibiting the transpiration of a plant.
