Abstract
The invention relates to DNA molecules which code for deacetylases or proteins having the biological activity of a deacetylase and also transgenic plant cells which were transformed using the DNA molecules according to the invention. These molecules can be used for the production of plants having specifically destroyable parts, i.e. male- or female-sterile plants, by means of the specific expression of a deacetylase gene.
Claims17
An isolated DNA molecule encoding a protein having the biological activity of an N-Acetyl-Phosphinothricin deacetylase and having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
An isolated DNA molecule encoding a protein having the biological activity of an N-Acetyl-Phosphinothricin deacetylase, which comprises the nucleotide sequence indicated under SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a sequence that deviates from this sequence within the bounds of code degeneracy.
