Field
     Agronomy,   genetics, environmentology

Keywords
     Plant biomass, Global warming, Storage starch and protein, Heat tolerant plants, Screening method

Advantages
     The gene FLO2 regulates various gene functions that are involved in the production of
     plant storage materials, therefore, by enhancing the functions, FLO2 is expected to improve
     the quality of plant "seed" and enlarge seed, leading to technology for high-yield and
     high-quality grain production, i.e., production of heat-tolerant rice and high-yield
     plant biomass.

Abstract
Prof. Hiroaki Shimada found "FLORY ENDOSPERTM2 (FLO2)", an epistatic gene that generally regulates storage materials in plant seeds and biosynthesis systems.
