The disclosure describes antimicrobial peptides exhibiting activity against a wide variety of plant pathogens are described. Functional peptides consisting of the amino acid sequence: MKVMIVVKTKVKNKKVAKMMVK (SEQ ID NO: 1) or an amino acid sequence having an identity of 85% or more to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or consisting of a partial peptide thereof are described.

Functional peptides having antimicrobial activity against phytopathogenic microorganisms

A DPP-IV inhibitor and a food with functional claims, which comprises methylated catechin as a novel active ingredient, are provided.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor and food with function claims

Antimicrobial activity exhibited against a wide variety of plant pathogens. A functional peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence: YYGFPAFSERTRKFWRIWKGKTS (SEQ ID NO: 1) or an amino acid sequence having an identity of 85% or more with respect to the amino acid sequence, or consisting of a partial peptide thereof.

The present disclosure is intended to enhance the capability for arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis by treating the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi with oxidized glutathione or cystathionine.

Symbiosis-promoting agent and method for promoting symbiosis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Novel sugarcane-derived flowering-inducing genes each encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4 (the ScFT6 gene and the ScZCN16 gene), by which the flowering time is accelerated more slowly than conventionally known flowering-inducing genes, are provided.

Transformed plant and flowering regulation method using flowering-inducing gene

A mutant-type flowering-inducing gene encoding a protein comprising an amino acid sequence in which tyrosine corresponding to the tyrosine at position 85 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 is substituted by a different amino acid, whereby flowering time is accelerated more slowly than conventionally known flowering-inducing genes, is provided.

Mutant-type flowering-inducing gene, transformed plant having the mutant-type flowering-inducing gene, and flowering regulation method using the mutant-type flowering-inducing gene
