Novel genes coding for amino acid deacetylase with specificity for N-acetyl-L-phosphinotricin, their isolation and use.

摘要

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.
