This invention provides a drug-inducible promoter that can be used for sugarcane plants and plants related thereto. Such drug-inducible promoter comprises a polynucleotide comprising a first nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher identity to the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, a second nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher identity to the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ NO: 2, a third nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher identity to the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3, a fourth nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher identity to the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4, and a fifth nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher identity to the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 5 in such an order from the 3 terminal side toward the 5' terminal side.

Drug-inducible promoter and method of inducting gene expression using the same

According to the present invention, a sugarcane-stalk-sugar-content-related marker linked to a sugarcane quantitative trait is provided. Such marker is a sugarcane-stalk-sugar-content-related marker, which comprises a continuous nucleic acid region existing in a region sandwiched between the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 8 or a region sandwiched between the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 9 and the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 16.

Sugarcane-stalk-sugar-content-related marker and the use thereof

This invention provides a technique that enables efficient cross-breeding of plants, and, in particular, sugarcane plants and plant species closely related thereto.

Technique for regulating flower bud formation in sugarcane

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for identifying the variety/line of a plant of the genuswith the use of novel DNA markers that allow high-precision identification of a wide range of varieties/lines of plants of the genus. A method for identifying the variety/line of a plant of the genus, comprising using a simple sequence repeat polymorphism in at least one DNA sequence selected from SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 12 is provided.
