  • Molecular methods of hybrid seed production
    Patent number: 6255564
    Abstract: A process is described for producing fertile hybrid seed or hybrid seed comprising fertile and sterile seed using male-sterile plants created by employing molecular techniques to manipulate anti-sense gene and other genes that are capable of controlling the production of fertile pollen in plants. These plants are functionally male-sterile plants with pollen from male-fertile plants. Hybrid seed production is simplified and improved by this invention and can be extended to plant crop species for which commercially acceptable hybrid seed production methods are not currently available.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 1998
    Date of Patent: July 3, 2001
    Assignee: Paladin Hybrids, Inc.
    Inventors: Steven F. Fabijanski, Paul G. Arnison, Diego Albani, Laurian Sylvio Robert
