METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF CLEISTOGAMOUS RICE AND METHOD FOR SELECTION OF CLEISTOGAMOUS RICE

摘要

Disclosed is a polypeptide comprising: an amino acid sequence having the substitution of an amino acid residue at position-45 in the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:1 by a hydrophilic amino acid residue; or an amino acid sequence having the deletion, insertion, substitution or addition of one or several amino acid residues except an amino acid residue at position-45 in the above-mentioned amino acid sequence. It becomes possible to achieve the production or selection of a cleistogamous plant which has a normal fertility and is practically useful.
