  • MUTATED BARNASE GENE AND PLANT TRANSFORMED BY THE SAME
    Publication number: 20020166140
    Abstract: A male sterile plant free from any undesirable characteristic is constructed by anther-specifically expressing barnase gene alone. A barnase gene, which has a mutation and thus sustains its activity at a lowered level, is transferred into a plant and anther-specifically expressed, thereby efficiently providing a male sterile transgenic plant.
