Method of modifying genome in higher plant

   
   

A genome-modification technique based on homologous recombination was established for partial modification of genomic sequences into desired sequences. The use of such a technique to achieve high efficiency and reproducibility in higher plants has been regarded as difficult. According to the present invention, endogenous genome sequences of higher plants can be targeted to efficiently and reproducibly yield homologous recombinants without changing their original loci. Moreover, the present invention enables the production of a transformed plant in which a specific gene is modified without any restrictions, and it can also contribute to the analysis of gene functions as well as to the analysis of gene expression mechanisms associated with changes in genome dynamics.
