dominant mutation in the tdm gene that gives rise to diplogametes production in plants

摘要

Patent Summary for: "Dominant mutation in the tdm gene that gives rise to the production of diplogametes in plants". The invention relates to a dominant mutation in the tdm gene which results in the production of 2n gametes in plants, plants comprising said mutation and their use in plant reproduction. The invention also relates to plants wherein the dominant mutation in the tdm gene is combined with the inactivation of a gene involved in meiotic recombination in plants and a gene involved in monopolar kinetochor orientation during meiosis. These plants that produce apomeiotic gametes are also useful in plant breeding.
