概要Overview
The Japanese morning glory (Ipomoea nil) is useful for research purposes because its generation time is less than 3 months and its size can be controlled by manipulating the daylength. Research on this plant is increasing to take advantage of the fact that it is a short-day plant, has vining capabilities and short one-day flowering time. The genome of I. nil is also uniform among lines, making it easy to identify the gene responsible for a mutation. We maintain a variety of I. nil mutants originating in the Edo period, and new mutations can be induced using endogenous transposons.
