摘要:
Nucleotide sequences mediating male fertility in plants are described, with DNA molecule and amino acid sequences set forth. Use of the nucleotide sequences to mediate fertility in plants is also described. In one such method, an inducible promoter is used to regulate expression of the DNA molecule. The control sequences are modified so that it is normally "off" and as a result the plants are male sterile. When it is desired to reproduce the male sterile plants, male fertility is restored by treating the plants with a non-phytotoxic chemical which induces expression of the critical gene.
摘要:
A controllably constitutively female sterile plant is provided. A gene critical to female fertility is identified and the native gene inactivated. The gene is cloned, linked to an inducible promoter and inserted into the plant. The result is a plant that is constitutively female sterile with inducible female fertility.

摘要:
An inducible promoter is used to regulate expression of a gene which is known to be critical to male fertility. The selected gene's control sequences are modified so that it is normally "off" and as a result the plants are male sterile. When it is desired to reproduce the male sterile plants, male fertility is restored by treating the plants with a non-phytotoxic chemical which induces expression of the critical gene. A critical gene is one which affects flavonol production and in particular compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.7, and R.sub.8, are hydrogen, hydroxyl or alkoxy having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred flavonols include galangin, kaempferol, iso-rhamnetin, quercetin and morin.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding the Ms45 male tissue-preferred regulatory region. In one aspect this invention relates the use of this male tissue-preferred regulatory region in mediating fertility. An example of such use is the production of hybrid seed such as in a male sterility system. The Ms45 male tissue-preferred regulatory region can be operably linked with exogenous genes, such as those encoding cytotoxins, complementary nucleotidic units and inhibitory molecules. This invention also relates to plant cells, plant tissue and differentiated plants which contain the regulatory region in this invention.
