Full-length cDNAs of plants and their uses are provided. Source plants are
preferably monocot plants, more preferably poaceous plants, and most
preferably rice. Vectors carrying said cDNAs and transformants containing
said cDNAs or said vectors, transgenic plants containing said
transformants, polypeptides encoded by said cDNAs are also provided. The
full-length cDNA clones play important roles in the annotation of correct
gene coding region, determination of exons and introns, comprehensive
expression analysis on the transcription level and proteome analysis.
Furthermore, full-length cDNA clones are industrially useful in producing
plants having different properties from those of the wild type due to the
inhibition of expression and functional suppression in plant bodies.
