Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Pairs of plants are provided in which complementing constructs result in suppression of a parental phenotype in the progeny. Methods to generate and maintain such plants and methods of use of said plants, are provided, including use of parental plants to produce sterile plants for hybrid seed production. Also provided are methods for maintaining a homozygous recessive condition and for repressing transmission of transgenes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of preventing transmission of a transgene of interest through the male gametes of a transgenic plant, comprising linking said transgene to a construct comprising a first promoter driving a nucleotide sequence encoding a product that inhibits the formation, function, or dispersal of male gametes by increasing starch degradation in developing pollen, relative to a control, wherein transmission of the transgene of interest through female gametes of sai…
