GENOME SHUFFLING METHOD FOR AUTOGAMOUS PLANTS UTILIZING DOMINANT MALE STERILITY OBTAINED BY GENE ENGINEERING TECHNIQUE, AND RECURRENT SELECTION BREEDING SYSTEM BASED ON THE GENOME SHUFFLING METHOD

摘要

A genome shuffling method for autogamous plants, including producing individuals having the following three traits in a tight coupling linkage by a gene engineering technique selected from a transgenic technique and a gene targeting technique: 1) dominant male sterility, 2) chemical tolerance and 3) lethality inducible by activating an inducible promoter, selecting, from progeny of the individuals, male-sterile individuals by means of the chemical tolerance described in 2) and male-fertile individuals by means of the lethality described in 3), arranging the male-sterile individuals and the male-fertile individuals close together in flowering periods thereof, so that the male-sterile individuals are crossed with the male-fertile individuals, harvesting seeds from the male-sterile individuals, and repeating outcrossing using the seeds from generation to generation.
