Abstract
The present invention provides a gene participating in the low temperature germinability in rice and utilization of the same, and the invention relates to a gene for a low temperature germinability which is an isolated qLTG-3-1 gene from the rice line Italica Livorno, has low temperature germinability and has the base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; an amino acid sequence encoded by the gene; a transgenic plant transformed with the gene for the low temperature germinability to improve the low temperature germinability; a method of analyzing low temperature germinability, including analyzing the low temperature germinability of a cultivar by comparing the base sequence of the gene for the low temperature germinability with the genotype of the cultivar; a method of improving the low temperature germinability of rice, including transforming the gene for the low temperature germinability into a rice cultivar to improve the low temperature germinability of the cultivar under low temperature conditions; and a method of analyzing the low temperature germinability of a rice cultivar by utilizing the expression of the gene for the low temperature germinability.
