Abstract
Methods are described for selecting or producing a cereal plant comprising a functional restorer gene for wheat G-type cytoplasmic male sterility and nucleic acids for use therein.
Claims22
A nucleic acid molecule of a gene allele comprising a coding sequence operably-linked to a regulatory region wherein said regulatory region does not naturally occur with said coding sequence, or wherein said gene allele has been modified by transformation, genome editing or mutation, or wherein said gene allele has a native promoter that has been modified to include regulatory elements that increase transcription compared to the native gene, or to inactivate or remove negative regulatory elements, and wherein said coding sequence is
- a. a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 19, SEQ ID NO:
- 18, SEQ ID NO:
- 16, SEQ ID NO:
- 21;
- or
- b. a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 20 or SEQ ID NO:
- 17.
A chimeric gene comprising the following operably linked elements:
- a. a plant-expressible promoter;
- b. a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 97% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 20 or SEQ ID NO:
- 17;
- and optionally
- c. a transcription termination and polyadenylation region functional in plant cells,
- wherein at least one of said operably linked elements does not naturally occur together with respect to at least one other element.
A chimeric gene comprising the following operably linked elements:
- a. a plant-expressible promoter;
- b. a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 20 or SEQ ID NO:
- 17;
- and optionally
- c. a transcription termination and polyadenylation region functional in plant cells, wherein at least one of said operably linked elements does not naturally occur together with respect to at least one other element.
