The use of the arabidopsis esj2a promoter to reduce anther dehiscence and createmale sterile plants

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a nucleic acid sequence in the prevention or reduction of anther dehiscence, to transgenic plants wherein anther dehiscence is reduced or prevented and to a method for the production of such transgenic plants. Also provided is a method for producing a transgenic plant homozygous for male sterility and to a transgenic plant homozygous for male sterility.
