A method for editing a plant genome includes coating a microparticle with at least one type of nucleic acid and/or at least one type of protein, introducing a deletion, insertion, or substitution into a target site in the genome of a plant by bombarding a shoot apex of the plant with the coated microparticle using a gene gun, growing the shoot apex bombarded with the coated microparticle to obtain a plant body, and selecting a genome-edited plant body from the plant body. The shoot apex of the plant is selected from the group consisting of a shoot apex of an embryo of a fully mature seed, a shoot apex of a young bud of a tuber, and a shoot apex of a terminal bud or a lateral bud.

Plant genome editing method

A method to transforming a plant includes coating a microparticle having a diameter of 0.3 to 0.9 &#x3bc;m with at least one type of nucleic acid, bombarding a shoot apex of the plant with the coated microparticle using a gene gun, growing the shoot apex bombarded with the coated microparticle to obtain a plant body, and selecting a transformed plant body from the plant body. The shoot apex is selected from the group consisting of a shoot apex of an embryo of a fully mature seed, a shoot apex of a young bud of a tuber, and a shoot apex of a terminal bud or a lateral bud.

Method for creating transformed plant

A method for modifying a plant includes coating a microparticle with at least one type of nucleic acid and/or at least one type of a protein, bombarding a shoot apex of a plant with the coated microparticle, growing the shoot apex bombarded with the coated microparticle to obtain a plant body, and selecting a modified plant body from the plant body. The shoot apex is selected from the group consisting of a shoot apex of an embryo of a fully mature seed, a shoot apex of a young bud, a shoot apex of a terminal bud or a lateral bud, and a shoot apex of an immature embryo.

Method for modifying plant

Portable computer

An electronic apparatus, which performs properly with reliability even in an operation through blind-touch, is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a first switch section made up of at least one push switch, a second switch section made up of at least one push switch, and a long and protruding section placed rigidly between the first and the second switch sections.
