Claims41
A nucleotide sequence for use in cloning or expressing an embryo sac-specific nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of
- a) the nucleotide sequence defined in any one of SEQ ID No. 1 to 8 and 13 to 31, or a part or complementary strand thereof,
- b) a nucleotide sequence which hybridises to the nucleotide sequence defined in a), or a part or a complementary strand thereof,
- c) a nucleotide sequence which is degenerated as a result of the genetic code to the nucleotide sequence defined in a), b), or a part or a complementary strand thereof, and
- d) the alleles, functional equivalents or derivatives of the nucleotide sequence defined in a), b), c), or a part or a complementary strand thereof.
The vector according to any claims of 7 to 12, which furthermore contains T-DNA, in particular the left, the right or both T-DNA borders.
A plant or a part or organ thereof comprising the host cell according to any one of claims 15 or 16 or produced according to the method of claims 20 to 22 or 38 or progeny thereof.
