Reversible Male Sterility in Transgenic Plants by Expression of Cytokinin Oxidase

Methods for the production of reversibly male-sterile plants by introduction of a polynucleotide encoding a cytokinin oxidase are disclosed along with nucleic acid constructs and transformed cells useful in the production of such plants. Also disclosed is the use of plants containing recombinant nuc...

Zusammenfassung:Methods for the production of reversibly male-sterile plants by introduction of a polynucleotide encoding a cytokinin oxidase are disclosed along with nucleic acid constructs and transformed cells useful in the production of such plants. Also disclosed is the use of plants containing recombinant nucleic acid sequences in preventing pollination of plants with pollen containing one or more transgenes and in the introduction of economically important traits into elite varieties of plants.
