CYSTEINE PROTEASE GENE SPECIFICALLY EXPRESSED IN STAMEN OF RICE, PROMOTER FOR SPECIFICALLY EXPRESSING THE GENE IN THE STAMEN, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING MALE STERILITY RICE UTILIZING INHIBITION OF EXPRESSION OF THE GENE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new cysteine protease gene specifically expressed in a stamen of rice, to provide a promoter for specifically expressing the gene in the stamen, and to provide a method for producing the rice into which a male sterility character is transduced by inhibiting expression of the gene. PSOLUTION: This new cysteine protease gene and the promoter for specifically expressing the gene in the stamen are provided, respectively, so that the gene and the promoter are each utilizable. When the gene functions to participate in pollen formation and controls the formation, a male sterility plant is produced. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
