Abstract
The invention provides nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences of the Dipgene as well as (functional) homologues, fragments and variants thereof, which provides diplospory as a part of apomixis. Also diplospory plants and methods for making these are provided, as are methods of using these, and methods of making apomictic seed.
Claims11
A polynucleotide comprising a chimeric gene that comprises:

- (i) a sequence having at least 95% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
- 11;
- and/or
- (ii) a sequence encoding an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
- 12;
- operably linked to
- (b) a promoter sequence that is not naturally associated with (a), wherein said polynucleotide, an expression product thereof, and/or a protein encoded thereby, is capable of providing diplospory function to a plant or plant cell.
