    摘要: Plant development can be altered by transforming a plant with a genetic construct that includes regulatory elements and structural genes capable of acting in a cascading fashion to produce a reversible effect on a plant phenotype. A first genetic construct comprising (i) an operator that is capable of controlling expression of a dominant negative gene, (ii) a dominant negative gene that, when expressed in a plant disrupts pollen formation or function, (iii) a tissue specific promoter that regulates the expression of a gene encoding a DNA-binding protein which binds to the operator and activates transcription, and (iv) a gene encoding a DNA binding region and an activating domain, causes male sterility in a plant. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a DAM-methylase gene as a dominant negative gene and an anther-specific promoter. Male sterility is reversed by incorporation into a plant of a second genetic construct which represses the dominant negative gene.
