Embodiment 1

[0107] Example 1. Transposon tagging

[0108] Plants were grown at 22°C under a 16 hr light / 8 hr dark cycle in a greenhouse at the Institute of Molecular Bioagriculture (1 Research Link, Singapore). Starting lines containing Ds or Ac segments are crossed and F2 seeds are screened for transposants, such as Sundaresan. V. et al., 1995, Genes and Development, 9 "1797-1810. The spl mutant gene was identified from the transposon collection by its male and female sterility phenotype. Genetic analysis was performed using techniques known in the art. The spl mutation is shown The gene is recessive and results from a single-Ds insertion. The phenotype of the spl mutant gene is determined by standard cytological methods, such as McCully, M.E., 1981, Plant Architecture Studies: Principles and Selection Methods, Termarcarphi, Melbourne, and whole slides The clearing method was identified as described by Herr, J.J.M., 1982, Staining Techniques 57: 161-109.

Embodiment 2

[0109] Example 2 DNA Analysis

[0110] DNA analysis was performed essentially as described by Sambrook J. et al., 1989, A Laboratory Manual of Molecular Cloning, published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York.

[0111] For Southern blot analysis, 100-200 ng of Arabidopsis DNA was extracted from flower buds, digested with EcoRI, Hind III or XbaI, electrophoresed on a 1% agarose gel, and then transferred to a nylon membrane. Ds probe, an EcoRI fragment at the 5' end of the gene trap construct, DsG (see V. Sundaresan et al., Genes and Development 9: 1797-1810 (1995)), was digested with EcoRI by digesting plasmid pWS31 containing part of the Ds factor , and the resulting fragments were separated by electrophoresis. The 1.8kb EcoRI fragment of the 5'Ds factor was excised from the gel, and the Rediprime kit purchased from Amersham was used. 32 P-dCTP labeled, labeled fragments were used to probe Southern blots under standard DNA hybridization c...

Embodiment 3

[0113] Example 3 RNA Analysis

[0114] Northern blot analysis of polyA+ RNA from various Arabidopsis tissues was performed using the 1 kb Hind III fragment of the cDNA clone shown in Figure 2 (SEQ ID NO: 1) as a probe. RNA was extracted from different tissues using standard methods, and 10 μg of polyA+ RNA from each sample was electrophoresed on a 1% agarose gel and blotted onto a nylon membrane. The membrane is then used 32 P-dCTP-labeled probe hybridization.

Abstract

The present invention provides genes and encoded proteins that are involved in meiocyte formation during the growth of plants. The transformation of plants and plant-related hosts with these genes in altered or unaltered form, or the mutation of these genes in endogenous form, renders a plant capable during growth of bearing seedless fruits and / or pollenless flowers. The invention further provides methods of producing transgenic plants which are capable of bearing seedless fruits and / or pollenless flowers.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to genes related to plant fertility and proteins encoded by them. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of genes involved in vegetal mother cell formation and the proteins encoded by them to enable plants to bear seedless fruits and / or pollenless flowers. Background of the invention [0002] An essential part of the life cycle of higher plants is the transition between diploid spore production or haploid gamete production. In flowering plants, gametogenesis consists of pollen grains and the embryo sac within the ovary. The transition from the spore phase to the gametophase in higher plants consists of two processes, sporogenesis and gametogenesis. Gametogenesis mainly involves the differentiation of haploid spores into mature gametes. See G.N. Drews et al., Plant Cell 10(5) (1988). Sporogenesis is characterized by the differentiation of hypothelial cells in anthers and ovule primordia into protospo...
