The spirosolane skeleton 23-position hydroxylase gene and the spirosolane skeleton 23-position acetyltransferase gene derived from, andare found to be involved with the biosynthesis of leptine, which achieves resistance against Colorado potato beetle.

Plant having enhanced resistance against colorado potato beetle and method for producing same, and method for evaluating resistance against colorado potato beetle in plant

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

This invention provides a method of plant transformation viacomprising inoculating and infecting a plant with ancarrying a foreign-gene-containing vector under application of a plant growth-inhibiting hormone. This invention also provides a method of plant transformation viacomprising transforming a plant with ancarrying a vector comprising a T-DNA region in which a foreign gene is contained but no selectable marker gene is contained.
