  • Compositions and methods for production of male-sterile plants
    Patent number: 6403352
    Abstract: The present invention provides plant calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CCaMK) nucleic acids, polypeptides, antibodies, and related methods. CCaMK genes are expressed in anthers in a developmental stage-specific manner. Suppression of CCaMK expression, e.g., by an antisense transgene, results in male-sterility.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 1999
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2002
    Assignee: Washington State University Research Foundation
    Inventors: Bachettira W. Poovaiah, Shameekumar Patil, Daisuke Takezawa
