  • Protein complementation in transgenic plants
    Patent number: 6791011
    Abstract: The invention relates to pairs of parent plants for producing hybrid seeds and to methods for producing plants with a desired phenotype. The desired phenotype is an active enzyme, a regulatory protein or a protein which affects the functionality and/or viability and/or structural integrity of a cell. Preferably, the desired phenotype is substantially absent from the parent plants/lines. In particular, the invention relates to parent plants and methods involving plant lines for producing male-sterile plants and seeds.

  • Method for the production of modified plants
    Patent number: 6291741
    Abstract: Methods for the production of modified plants are provided. In these methods a first line and a second line are crossed to produce a plant having a phenotypic trait, wherein neither the first or second lines possess the phenotypic trait, and wherein at least one of the parent lines is transgenic. Plants produced by the methods of the invention are also described.
