Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated DNA sequences from Arabidopsis encoding proteins for regulating dehiscence of mature fruits and transgenic plants with delayed fruit dehiscence. The invention also relates to methods of preventing dispersal of seeds through the process of dehiscence (pod shattering) by transforming plants with DNA sequences encoding proteins that cause an indehiscent phenotype.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of Acacia mangium regeneration through organogenesis and a method of genetic transformation of Acacia mangium. The method of regeneration comprises inducing callus from different parts of seedlings and vegetatively micropropagated plantlets as explants; adventitious bud induction followed by pinnate leaf and bud elongation and eventually, elongated shoots were induced to root. Based on the regeneration system, a marker gene GUS under cauliflower mosaic virus promoter was introduced to Acacia mangium via Agrobacterium infection. GUS staining in the regenerated plants and Southern blot hybridization prove the incorporation of the foreign gene into the host genome and expression of the foreign gene.

Abstract: The present invention provides genes and encoded proteins that are involved in meiocyte formation during the growth of plants. The transformation of plants and plant-related hosts with these genes in altered or unaltered form, or the mutation of these genes in endogenous form, renders a plant capable during growth of bearing seedless fruits and/or pollenless flowers. The invention further provides methods of producing transgenic plants which are capable of bearing seedless fruits and/or pollenless flowers.
