Abstract
The invention provides nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences of the Dip gene 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.
Claims21
A polynucleotide comprising a chimeric gene that comprises:
- (a) (i) the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2 or a nucleic acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2, (ii) a nucleic acid sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 3, or (iii) a fragment of (i) or (ii) that has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 4, 5, 6 or 11 or encodes an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 7 or 12;
- operably linked to (b) a promoter sequence that is not naturally associated with (a), and wherein the polynucleotide, an expression product thereof, and/or a protein encoded thereby, is capable of providing diplospory function to a plant or plant cell.
