  • Male tissue-preferred regulatory sequences of Ms45 gene and method of using same
    Patent number: 7154024
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated male tissue-preferred regulatory sequences from Ms45 gene. The invention also relates to the use of Ms45 gene male tissue-preferred regulatory sequences in mediating male fertility in a plant, and in producing hybrid seed. The Ms45 male tissue-preferred regulatory region can be operably linked to exogenous genes encoding cytotoxins or inhibitory molecules. The invention also relates to plant cells, plant tissue and plants that contain the MS45 gene regulatory sequences.

  • Male tissue-preferred regulatory sequences of Ms45 gene and method of using same
    Publication number: 20040221331
    Abstract: 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.
