  • Means for inducing apoximis in cultivated plants having sexual reproduction and use thereof for the production of completely or partially apomictic plants
    Patent number: 9234209
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a gene of the Argonaute family, a transcript of said gene or the ORF of said gene in order to produce plants that are completely or partially apomictic. The invention can be used to control apomixis in cultivated species having sexual reproduction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2016
    Assignee: INSTITUT DE RECHERCHE POUR LE DEVELOPMENT (IRD)
    Inventors: Daniel Grimanelli, Olivier Leblanc
  • INDUCTION OF APOMIXIS IN SEXUALLY REPRODUCING CULTIVATED PLANTS AND USE FOR PRODUCING TOTALLY OR PARTIALLY APOMICTIC PLANTS
    Publication number: 20120311737
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use, for producing partially or totally apomictic plants, of a gene, of a transcript of this gene, or of the ORF thereof, encoding a protein comprising a DNA methyltransferase motif.

  • MEANS FOR IDENTIFYING NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES INVOLVED IN APOMIXIS
    Publication number: 20080155712
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for identifying in Gramineae, more particularly in maize, a nucleotide sequence involved in the apomixis in apomictic plants. The method relates to identifying the genome of the Gramineae, by phenotypic analysis, genetic mapping and marking by means of transposons, of the meiotic mutations whereof the corresponding gene is shown to be orthologous to genes involved in the expression of apomixis. The invention also concerns the use of a cloned gene in the Gramineae to identify and isolate the orthologous gene sequence in apomictic plants. The invention further concerns the use or modification of the isolated sequence in apomictic forms for inducing an apomictic development in sexual plants.
