  • Patent number: 6172279
    Abstract: Male sterility is imparted to a plant by a cascade of gene sequences which expresses a protein which disrupts the biosynthesis of viable pollen. Expression of the disrupter protein is restricted to male parts of the plant by an upstream promoter sequence which is specific to male flowers, the male specific promoter being under control of an operator sequence. The cascade also includes a gene encoding a repressor protein specific for that operator. Expression of the repressor protein is under control of a chemically inducible promoter which is inducible by the application to the plant by, spraying or like process, of an exogenous chemical. In the absence of the exogenous chemical inducer, no repressor protein is expressed, resulting in expression of the disrupter protein and, consequently, male sterility.

Inbred KW7791 is especially bred for the north central United States and has demonstrated through the heterosis/hybrid vigor displayed in several single cross hybrids of which KW7791 is one of the parents, that it has superior general combining ability. Hybrid 6060Bt is a single cross hybrid developed by using KW7791 as one of the parents. Hybrid 6060Bt is a variety having superior agronomic performance that was especially bred for the north central United States.
