Definitions
- the present invention is directed to the breeding of crops or plants to produce hybrids having increased vigor or other superior qualities arising from the cross breeding of genetically different male and female plants or crops. More particularly, the present invention is directed to crop or plant heterosis involving a female parent which is male sterile and a male parent which is male fertile and contains a herbicide resistant gene to produce hybrid seeds, plants and crops which are subjected to a non-selective herbicide in order to kill or eliminate all non-pure hybrids or plants that were not from crossing with the transgenic male parent.
- Herbicides are phytotoxins used by humans to kill unwanted vegetation.
- the compounds can be completely nonselective, killing every species of plant, or very selective, killing only certain plants.
- Several hundred herbicide active ingredients have been developed since the dawn of chemical control of weeds in the 1940's. The mechanisms of action of most of these compounds are known (Pilmoor et al., 1995), although there are still many gaps in our knowledge.
- Most herbicides are thought to directly affect only one molecular target in the plant, resulting in a cascade of secondary and tertiary effects that eventually kill the plant. Control of weeds with herbicides has been critical in food production because weeds compete with crops for water, nutrients, and soil.
- weeds can harbor insect and disease pests, and noxious weeds and weed seeds can greatly undermine crop quality. For these reasons, close to 100% of the U. S. corn, rice and soybean acres are treated with herbicides (Gianessi and Puffer, 1991).
- Biotechnology may alter our future in many ways.
- One is by altering crop species to provide new traits that have been impossible or very slow to produce by conventional breeding.
- Imparting herbicide resistance to normally herbicide-susceptible crops to produce herbicide-resistant crops (HRCs) has been one of the most intensively exploited area of plant biotechnology.
- the progress achieved in the genetic manipulation of plants and the ability to transfer genetic information from any source organism has opened up an exciting and productive area for new agricultural products.
- herbicide resistance is used to describe the ability, trait, or quality of a population of plants with a species or larger taxon, or of plant cells in culture, to withstand a particular herbicide at a dosage that is substantially greater than the dosage wild type of that plants is able to withstand, with a near normal life cycle (Dekker and Duke, 1995).
- Most herbicide-resistant crop cultivars were created through the stable integration of a foreign gene (transgene; transgenic plants) using recently developed techniques of molecular biology and plant transformation (Dyer et al., 1993). This approach takes advantage of the potential ability of every plant cell to be regenerated into a whole plant after receiving a foreign gene.
- the gene may encode a herbicide-resistant form for an endogenous enzyme or a novel enzyme that alters and thereby inactives the herbicide.
- HRCs from nonselective herbicides such as glyphosate or glufosinate or HRCs that lie in an intermediate zone between major crops such as rice, soybeans and corn and minor crops (Duke, 1996).
- HRCs could provide many advantages in the efficient, safe and economical production of crops (Bright, 1992; Dekker and Comstock, 1992; Dyer et al., 1993, Goldburg et al., 1990; Miller, 1991).
- Herbicides and their associated HRCs could provide many advantages in the efficient, safe and economical production of crops (Bright, 1992; Dekker and Comstock, 1992; Dyer et al., 1993, Goldburg et al., 1990; Miller, 1991).
- herbicide "carryover" could be developed with less persistence in the environment (e.g., herbicide "carryover"
- Glyphosate is a nonselective, postemergence herbicide that is used extensively prior to crop emergence, as a harvest aid, and as a directed spray. It is used extensively in forests and orchards where under story vegetation can be sprayed without contacting the foliage of the crop. It is also used in landscaping and lawns for edging and borders. It is toxicologically and environmentally benign (Duke, 1988).
- Glyphosate Upon contact with the soil, it is immobilized by binding to soil components, where is it is rapidly degraded by soil microbes, so it is extremely low toxicant to mammals, birds, and fish (Malik et al., 1989). Glyphosate is classified by the EPA (environmental protection agency) as Category E (evidence of noncarcinogenicity for humans) (57 FR 8739). Importantly, the use of the Roundup herbicide has not resulted in the occurrence of even one case of spontaneous weed resistance to glyphosate in almost 20 years of widespread use.
- glyphosate The primary mechanism of action of glyphosate is the inhibition of 5- enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) (EC 2.5.1.19), the penultimate enzyme of the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic (shikimate) pathway, and plant death results from starvation for the aromatic amino acids.
- EPSPS 5- enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase
- soybean line 40-3-2 expresses the CP4 EPSPS gene product. From this line, Roundup Ready soybeans have been commercialized rapidly.
- Glufosinate (Phosphinothricin) T h e h e rb i c i d a l p r o p e r ty o f g l u f o s i n a t e [ 2 - a m i n o - 4 - (hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butanoic acid] is due to L-phosphinothricin (PPT), an analogue of glutamate. PPT is the active ingredient of the commercial herbicides, Herbiace, Basta and Liberty.
- Glufosinate is the most potent known inhibitor of glutamine synthetase (GS) (Devine et al., 1993). GS is critical to the assimilation of nitrogen by plants, and its inhibition leads to several immediate metabolic dysfunctions. The rapid cessation of photosynthesis brought about by glyoxylate accumulation is the important phytotoxic effect. Glyoxylate accumulates in GS-inhibited plants because the levels of amino acids required in photorespiratory glyoxylate transamination are reduced. Glufosinate is a toxicologically and environmentally benign herbicide that does not persist in the environment. Glufosinate-resistant crops have been the focus of at least two reviews (Mullner et al., 1993; Vasil, 1994).
- viridochromogenes has been used to transforme about 20 crops , including wheat (Vasil et al., 1993), oilseed rape (De Block et al., 1989), rice (Rathmore et al., 1993), corn (Laursen et al., 1994), sorghum (Casas et al., 1993), barley (Wan and Lemaux, 1994), tomato (De Block et al., 1989), etc..

- tomato De Block et al., 1989
- almost all of the present success in engineering PPT resistance is based on the transfer and efficient expression of the resistant bar gene in crop species (Vasil
- the bar gene was introduced into embryogenic callus or immature embryos of wheat, and the plants were regenerated on nutrient medium containing PPT. Integration of the functional gene into the plant genome was confirmed by molecular probes and resistance to topical application of Basta. Male and female transmission of the bar gene (and the resistant phenotype), which segregated as a dominant Mendelian trait, was demonstrated (Weeks et al., 1993). The bar that confers resistance to glufosinate has been transformed into rice cultivars Gulfmont, Koshihikari, Cypress, and Bengal. Field experiments on these transgenic cultivars from 1993-1995 have demonstrated that the bar gene was effective in conferring field-level resistance to glufosinate in rice (Linscombe et al., 1996).
- transgenic rice varieties that are tolerant to glufosinate have the potential to allow improved weed control for most of the major rice weeds, including red rice (Gravois et al., 1997; Wheeler et al., 1997).
- the bar gene for resistance to the herbicide is inherited as a single dominant gene, and field screening for the gene is relatively easy.
- traditional breeding efforts to improve the yield potential of transgenic varieties should be readily achievable (Ahrens, 1994; Gravois et al., 1997).
- Another novel use of resistance to PPT has been made for hybrid seed production in oilseed rape by linking it to a male sterility gene (Mariani et al., 1992).
- HRCs commercialized rapidly. About 15 percent of the 1997 soybean acreage was planted to herbicide-resistant soybeans from seed supplied by more than 70 companies (Rominger, 1997).
- Heterosis is a contraction of the phrase 'stimulus of heterozygosis'
- Elimination of self- or intraline fertilization of the female line requires male sterility. Plants that fail to produce functional pollen grains are male sterile (Virmani, 1994). Such sterility can be produced by hand emasculation (castration), chemical or environmental emasculation, or manipulation of genetic male sterility or self-incompatibility.
- Cytoplasmic male sterility CMS
- environmental male sterility such as photoperiod genie male sterility (PGMS) or thermo genie male sterility (TGMS), and chemical (gametocide) induced male sterility (CIMS).
- CIMS chemical (gametocide) induced male sterility
- TMSS transgenic male sterility system
- Cytoplasmic Male Sterility Three Line System Cytoplasmic male sterility is of special interest for hybridizing crop plants having perfect flowers with few seeds per flower and where seed prices cannot cover the cost of extra expenses involved in hand emasculation.
- CMS was the major system in hybrid corn before the destructive leaf blight epidemics associated with Texas male sterile cytoplasm (T-cms) occurred in the late 1970's.
- the CMS system is controlled by the interaction of cytoplasmic and nuclear genes. Presence of homozygous recessive nuclear gene(s) for fertility restoration in association with sterility including genetic factor(s) in cytoplasm make a plant male sterile (A line). In the absence of a sterility-inducing genetic factor(s) in the cytoplasm, plants become male fertile. In such a cytoplasm, if fertility restorer nuclear gene(s) are recessive, the plants will maintain sterility of the male sterile plants and such plants are designated as maintainers (B line).
- CMS system is called three line system, i.e. a. Male sterile (MS) line, called A line: Male sterility is required over 99.0% in rice and its female organs are completely normal (Table 3).
- B line Maintainer line
- B line maintains male sterility for A line i.e. the offsprings of A and B line have male sterility above 99.0% in rice for the multiplication of A line.
- R line restores male fertility of the hybrids i.e. the offsprings of A and R line have seed set above 80% in rice.
- Cycle 1 for A line multip cat on Cycle 2 for ybr d seed production The conversion of male sterility and fertility is controlled by its genetic interaction between cytoplasm and nucleus. This male sterility is relatively stable regardless of location, time, weather etc.
- genetic match for male fertility alternation among A, B and R lines is very strict and essential. That is A line must contain complete male sterile gene in both its cytoplasm and nucleus. Male fertile gene must be in the cytoplasm of B line only. Male restoring gene must be in the nucleus of R line that has to bring fertility of its hybrid back to normal. The stability of male sterility is the major reason for this system to stay on the stage by itself (Yuan and Fu, 1995).
- the two cycles for hybrid seed production in the CMS system make the procedure not only complicated and costly, but also easy to be contaminated in the final product, hybrid seed.
- the parents involved have a chance to be contaminated or mutated, and the contaminations or mutants accumulate in the final product, hybrid seeds.
- rice we take rice as an example since it is the most successful crop in self-pollinated crops for heterosis utilization. If one panicle from B line is mixed and harvested with A line in the first cycle, 80-100 plants of B line are mixed in the population of A line in the second cycle. Each plant generates 10 panicles and 80-100 spikelets on each panicle so that 800-1000 B line seeds from one seed of 1st cycle are mixed with hybrid seeds.
- each spikelet from 80-100 B line spikelets per seed of 1st cycle contains 6 anthers, each anther contains thousands of pollon, and after these anthers pollinate to A line plants around, tens of thousand of A line individuals are expected. Totally, 8-10 million impure plants from the single panicle are expected in each hybrid rice field. If R line has some offtype plants, the number of impure plants in the hybrid rice field would be more. In a hybrid rice field, some impure plants have different height of plant from the true hybrid, some flower at different times so that early heading plants lodge or shatter when harvesting, and late heading plants do not mature or do not flower when harvesting, and some are male sterile without seed set at all. Obviously, these impure plants result in a great yield loss.
- Hybrid rice was cultivated in over 17 million of hectares in 1991 (54.1% of total rice cultivation), so a great amount of rice was possibly lost due to a lack of hybrid purity.
- the Chinese government sets the standards of hybrid seed purity above 96% and impure plants less than 0.2% in a hybrid rice field (Table 3). If seed quality data for a seed lot does not meet these standards, the whole lot of hybrid seed (50,000-100,000 kg) can not be used for seeds, and must be used instead for animal food because the grain quality of hybrid seed is not marketable. If a particular field has impure plants above the national standard, a legal argument between the seed company and farmer occurs. In order to meet the criteria of hybrid seed, the seed company has to take time consuming and expensive steps to (Lou and Mao, 1994):
- Isolation such as distance, flowering time and objects (belt of trees, bamboos, mountain etc.)
- the quality data is not collected until March of the next year when hybrids head i.e. a month from planting season in Sichuan.
- the seed company has to get the seed contracted at the end of the year and distributed at beginning of the next year.
- no quality data is available when seed is distributed which leads to legal arguments later on.
- cms-T proved to be superior for hybrid seed production because most inbred lines are completely and stably sterilized in Texas cytoplasm, and fertility restoration is more easily achieved.
- Rfj and Rf 2 two dominant nuclear alleles, act jointly to suppress CMS in cms-T maize. The Rf 2 allele is present in most widely used inbred lines, whereas the Rf, allele is rare.
- the conversion of inbred parents to cms-T replaced detasseling as the predominant form of pollen control.
- Male sterile cytoplasm uniformity occurs also in hybrid rice production in China. Although many male sterile cytoplasms have been discovered, very few of them can be used to develop desired CMS lines that are released commercially. In 1994, about 90% of the CMS lines used in commercial production contained W type male sterile cytoplasm which was from a male sterile wild rice plant (Mao, C.X., 1994). Thus, about 90% of the rice fields out of 17 million hectares are covered by W type CMS inspite of the destructive lesson in maize.
- Photosensitive genie male sterility (PGMS) and thermosensitive genie male sterility (TGMS) are involved in this EGMS system.
- the male sterility of PGMS and TGMS is controlled by nuclear genes and has no relationship to the cytoplasm. Under long-day length or high temperature condition (Summer), the plants show male sterile, and under short-day length or low temperature (Fall), they become male fertile. Therefore, this system has two advantages over the CMS three-line system. Firstly, female parent line can be used as dual purposes i.e. hybrid seed production in Summer and self-multiplication in Fall (no need for a maintainer), which simplifies hybrid seed production.
- Missing of PGMS in indica is the major reason for the EGMS two-line system not to function commercially.
- Research data indicated that temperature above 24 °C is a strict requirement for the male sterile line to express male sterility completely in addition to long-day photoperiod (Yuan and Fu, 1995).
- Hunan (province) seed company had 600-700 hectares of hybrid seed production using Pei-ai 64 as male sterile line in 1996.
- a rain along with temperature drop during heading period made some male sterile plants or panicles become fertile or partially fertile (Zhu, Xudong, personal conmm.). Again, this system has failed to get on the commercial stage.
- CIMS Chemically-Induced Male Sterility
- Male sterility in crop plants is also induced physiologically by chemicals known as male gametocides, pollen suppressants and chemical emasculators and their female organs function normally in order to receive pollen from male parent for hybrid seed production (see Figure 4).
- This system is even simpler or more efficient than the EGMS two-line system. It does not require any special scheme for the development of male sterile and restorer parents, and the maintenance and increase of parental seeds arc simple (Virmani, 1985).
- No need of breeding female parent or any special breeding program of the CIMS system further reduces seed cost of hybrid and no limitations for parent selection increases the breeding efficiency further. The less aspects a breeder requires, the greater chance he gets the hybrid.
- Research has been conducted since late 1960's, and male killer 1 (Saxungji 1 hao), male killer 2 (Saxungji 2 hao) etc. have been named for induction chemical in China.
- An ideal male gametocide should: (1) selectively induce pollen sterility without affecting female fertility, (2) be systematic or sufficiently persistent to sterilize both early
- the effectiveness of male sterile induction depends on: a) Rate of the chemical - low rate does not guarantee complete male sterility, but high rate results in other physiological disorders such as partial exsertion of panicle out of the leaf sheath, irregularly flowering or no flowering for some spikelets, incomplete panicle development or even some injuries to stigma, the female organ, etc. In return, these disorders reduce hybrid seed production, and increase seed cost. b) Development stage of panicles - cereal crops have unlimited tillering ability,
- TMSS Transgenic Male Sterile System
- the tobacco TA29 gene promoter can induce male sterility.
- the TA29 gene is highly regulated and transcribed specifically in tapetal cells that surround the pollen sacs in the anther. Expression of the cytotoxic TA29-RNa.se genes selectively destroys the tapetal cell layer, prevents pollen formation, and results in male sterility (Mariani et al., 1990).
- the TA29-6ar7.ase gene contains the coding sequence for the extracellular RNase which has a corresponding inhibitor protein, called barstar. Barstar is produced intracellularly and protects the bacteria from the lethal effects of bamase by forming a stable complex with bamase in the cytoplasm, and acts as a dominant restoring gene for male fertility in plants.
- the TA29 -bamase gene also acts as a dominant male sterility gene (Mariani et al., 1992), so the multiplication of the transgenic male sterility female plants has to be dependent on crossing with the wild type plants. Therefore, the male sterility inducing gene is linked to a selectable marker gene i.e. bar that confers resistance to the herbicide i.e. glufosinate for producing a 100% sterile female plants. Then, the offsprings from the cross segregates 50% male-sterile, glufosinate- resistant plants, and 50% male-fertile, glufosinate-susceptible plants (Denis et al., 1993).
- the 50% male-fertile, glufosinate- susceptible plants are cleaned up by spraying glufosinate on the female population in hybrid seed production.
- Pioneer Hi-Bred Intl. reported an improved way of this cleaning in hybrid corn program: seed coating, i.e. the seeds for producing female plants are coated with herbicide glufosinate, which makes the 50% fertile plants not germinate or die during the germination in the field (Songstad et al., 1997).
- an improved process for the efficient production of hybrid plants, crops, or seeds is provided. More particularly, the present invention is directed to crop or plant heterosis or hybridization, wherein the female parent is male sterile and the male parent is preferably male fertile and has a herbicide resistant gene or genes which is passed on to the pure hybrid seeds, plants, or crops.
- the hybrid seeds, plants or crops produced by the present process are treated or sprayed with the herbicide or herbicides and all seeds or plants that are not pure hybrids from a crossing with the herbicide resistant transgenic male parent and weeds are killed. The remaining live crop, plant, or the like is the true pure hybrid.
- an improved seed, crop or plant heterosis or hybridization process or system including an improved CMS system, EGMS system, CIMS system, and improved basic heterosis, wherein the male parent is male fertile and includes a herbicide resistant gene or genes which is passed on to the hybrid seeds.
- the present invention also finds special applicability to the production of hybrid seeds, wherein hybrid purity can be identified for a particular seed lot prior to planting of the hybrid seeds.
- Heterosis designates the increased growth or other augmented action resulting from crossing, however it is produced.
- Male sterility of female parent is an important biological mechanism for the commercial production of hybrid seed.
- Male sterility can be created by genetic manipulation, environmental influences, chemical induction and biological engineering. In principle, male sterility is a physiological disorder and the creation of complete male sterility either is costly or brings about other physiological disorders. Integrating the resistance gene to a non-selective herbicide into male parent and spraying the herbicide onto the hybrid population resulting from mating with the male parent for securing hybrid purity reduce the strict demand for complete male sterility.
- the concept of this invention is applicable to all the crops and plants in which male sterility has been studied for heterosis purposes including rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), corn (Zea mays L.), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), soybean (Glycine max L.), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor( .) Moench], rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), pearl millet [Pennisetum typhoides (Burm) Stspf et Hubb.], alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), tomato (Lyza sativa L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), corn (Zea mays L
- non-selective herbicide with its resistant gene in hybrid seed production for utilization of heterosis includes: a) integrating the herbicide resistant gene into the male parent; b) pollinating male sterile female parent, however the male sterility comes from, with the transgenic male parent; and, c) spraying the hybrid population with the matched herbicide for hybrid purity control and weed control in the production.
- the above-described protocol could be used in the following crops and plants in which research of male sterility for heterosis utilization had been conducted. They are rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), com (Zea mays L.), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), soybean (Glycine max L.), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench], rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), pearl millet [Pennisetum typhoides (Burm) Stspf et Hubb.], alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION there is provided an improved process for the efficient production of hybrid seeds with a security of hybrid purity in the field production for all crops and plants capable of allowing incomplete male sterility for female plants, which increases genetic diversity of the CMS system (many male sterile lines that are not male sterile absolutely can be used), which simplifies the procedure of hybrid seed production (using environmental genetic male sterility or chemically induced male sterility instead of cytoplasmic male sterility), and which utilizes heterosis more effectively and economically.
- a crop, plant or seed heterosis or hybridization process includes the steps of:
- the female parent male sterility (MS) line need not have complete or pure male sterility and in so doing provides for a much broader spectrum of MS line plants, crops, and the like which are less costly to produce due to their lack of purity, or tolerant to climatic or environmental changes or conditions, and allows for a broader spectrum for plants or crops to use as MS line which could not be used in conventional CMS, EGMS, or CIMS systems, and further allows the MS line to have enhanced or improved characteristics or features because of the reduced requirement for 100 percent sterility or purity in the MS line.
- the present invention provides for a seed production system or process, wherein the hybrid purity of the seed lot can be identified and labeled prior to planting. This allows for a more accurate prediction of the worth or price of the seed lot and also reduces legal and production risks.
- the present invention provides that an initial and subsequent sprayings of the crop or plants in the field or in a nursery with a herbicide to which the pure hybrid seeds and hybrid plants are resistant serves to not only kill impure hybrids, but also weeds and the like.
- the crop or plant heterosis or process of the present invention provides for and allows for non-directed or generalized spraying of the plants or crops with this selected herbicide or herbicides to which the plants are resistant. This may also reduce cost, increase in efficiency, and increase yield.
- Ce-64 one of the popular parent in commercial hybrid rice, was emasculated mannually, and pollinated mannually with Liberty Link transgenic rice varieties, Cypress PB-6 and Gulfmont, respectively.
- Hybrid seeds were harvested from the female parent, Ce-64 and then, planted in a plastic flat (20X16X3 inches).
- the hybrid seedlings in the flats were sprayed with Liberty (glufosinate) at the rate of 1.0 lb a.i.(active ingredient) per acre one month after seeding. The following data were recorded on the 9th day of the herbicide treatment.
- Multiplication of male parent The non-selective herbicide is sprayed on the multiplication field of male parent which is transformed with the resistant gene to the herbicide. All the contaminated plants including rice and weeds in the male parent population are eliminated.
- the resistant gene is integrated into the male parent that is used for hybrid seed production. All the impure rice plants from either selfing of contaminated individuals in male sterile line (female) population, or hybridizing with intra-lines or plants in female parent and with offtype plants in male parent population are eliminated by spraying the herbicide on the field of hybrid seedlings. The remaining plants are pure hybrids from hybridizing with the transgenic male parent.
- the Chinese government requires 100% of male sterility for female parent because of serious yield reduction from low hybrid seed purity. For grain crops such as wheat, rice, com, canola, etc., the harvest part or economical part - grain is from fertilization, which requires Fj hybrid plants with normal fertility for achieving the heterosis economically. As a result, economical 100% male sterility for female parent and normal fertility for hybrid plants are two keys in crop hybrid systems.
- male sterility of female parent is decided by the genetic conflict or genetic distance between cytoplasm and nucleus of the hybrid female parent. Usually, the larger the genetic distance causing the genetic conflict between cytoplasm and nucleus is, the greater the male sterility will be.
- W-Zhenshan 97A a male sterile female parent covering over 80% of 17 million hectares of hybrid rice in China currently, contains a cytoplasm from the male sterile wild rice and a nucleus from an early indica native variety, Zhenshan 97.
- the female parent for G-type hybrid rice which is popular in southwest China contains a cytoplasm from an indica variety, Gambiaka Kokoum from Guyana, West Africa.
- the fertility of hybrids is decided by the genetic interaction between the male sterile female parent and male parent or restoring line. Actually, the genetic interaction is the interaction of three genetic backgrounds i.e. cytoplasmic donor, nucleus donor and restorer donor. Usually, the greater the male sterility of female parent resulting from a larger genetic distance between its cytoplasm and nucleus is, the harder it is to restore the fertility of its Fj hybrid plants by the restoring line. In practice, a successful hybrid system requires 100% male sterility of female parent and normal fertility of F x hybrids for enough heterosis on grain yield.
- the present invention addresses crop production stability requirements while allowing for a reduction in the conflict between male sterility and fertility. Even though a male sterile line has 5-10% or even higher male fertility, all the seeds from its selfing or intraline pollination will not contain the herbicide resistant gene such as Roundup Ready or Liberty Link because their pollon do not come from the transgenic male parent. Only those seeds set in male sterile plants or spikelets in the population are true hybrids crossed with the transgenic male parent because only male sterile plants or spikelets have chance to receive foreign pollen. And only the true hybrid plants in the field can survive alone from the herbicide sprayed to the field.
- herbicide resistant gene such as Roundup Ready or Liberty Link
- the remaining plants are pure hybrids from hybridizing with the transgenic male parent.
- a few fertile individuals in male sterile population due to unexpected environmental variation such as temperature drop is tolerable because they will be killed with herbicide.
- this system can be used commercially.
- the elimination of the maintainer line saves about half of resources invested in conventional hybrid seed production.
- the elimination of the restoring ability requirement for the male parent increases the range of male parent selection to mate with female parent so that there is greater opportunity for breeding higher yield and better quality i.e. greater heterosis is generated.
- This invention helps a two-line system to replace the conventional three-line system because of the two eliminations in addition to lower seed cost. 4).
- Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Wheat is the largest crop cultivated and produced in the world. Annual wheat cultivation is about 223 million hectares in the world and 25 million hectares in the U. S. Annual production of wheat is about 560 million metric tons in the world and 65 million metric tons in the U. S.
- HTSI made a summary over multi-years and multi-locations on experimental plots and farmer's field and concluded that wheat hybrids outyielded consistently 10-20% over conventional varieties. Therefore, it will be profitable to grow wheat hybrids if hybrid seed is produced economically.
- Transgenic technology has been proposed to add a herbicide resistant gene in the wheat hybrid system (Gressel, 1996). The dominant resistant gene to a herbicide is integrated in the female parent. Then, the female parent and male parent can be planted in one sowing for easier outcrossing pollination, and the male parent is culled by herbicide after pollination is finished. The harvesting from the female parent plants left over after herbicide cleaning results in hybrid seeds.
- the problem with the proposed wheat hybrid system is like the cytoplasmic male sterility in the current hybrid rice and in the past of hybrid corn. Integrating a herbicide resistant gene in the female parent can only eliminate the contaminations from male parent.
- the male parent is normal plant and only 1/10 to 1/12 of male parent population is needed in hybrid seed production system. The 1/10 to 1/12 of male parent population can be purified through roguing, especially in developing countries.
- an improved chemically induced male sterile system can be commercialized.
- the improved CIMS does not have any conflicts of the two extreme points as well as the serious genetic match, and does not need a breeding program for male sterile female parent.
- the improved procedure is as follows.
- a popular wheat cultivar with great general combining ability is chosen for male parent, and the dominant resistant gene to a herbicide is integrated into the male parent through either molecular transformation or hybridization transferring from a transgenic wheat material.
- Test-crossing is conducted by using this male parent with many distant varieties to identify female parent through evaluating their hybrids for grain yield, stress tolerance, grain quality etc. breeding objectives.
- seed sample of the harvested hybrid seed is taken, and planted in a flat tray, and the seedlings are sprayed with the herbicide matched with the resistant gene.
- the seed purity is obtained by scoring dead plants (impure hybrid) and live plants (t e hybrid) and labeled to the seed lot.
- seed rate is calculated by the seed purity labeled before seeding in the field and the herbicide matched with the resistant gene on the field or otherwise is applied at 3-6 leaf stage for securing tme hybrid population as well as weed control before fertilizer application.
- the reduced genetic conflict between male sterility and fertility of the present invention provides an opportunity for wheat scientists to explore other male sterile cytoplasm other than T. timopheevii, the cytoplasm used popularly to produce complete male sterility.
- Rice Oryza sativa L.
- the present invention has an instant application in hybrid rice system through a transgenic male parent of a single gene for herbicide resistance.
- Grain quality of hybrid can be easily met in CIMS system.
- Cypress and Litton are two standard long grain varieties, and have differences in genetic pedigree and geographic origin. Grain quality of hybrid from the two varieties is supposed to be a standard long grain also if heterosis is pronounced in this hybrid. Cypress is used as male parent since it has been transformed with resistant gene to herbicide Liberty, and Litton as female parent if an effective chemical for inducing male sterility is identified. The production procedure will be same as described in wheat by using Liberty.
- Detasseling currently represents the most widely used method of pollen control after the late 1970's due to leaf blight epidemics from cms-T. Detasseling involves the physical removal of the tassel from the female parent, either as a manual operation or in combination with mechanical devices. To ensure that each seed field meets the necessary quality (seed genetic purity) standards, tassels from the female parent rows must be removed before they shed pollen and /or before silks emerge on the ear shoots of the female parent.
- CMS cytoplasmic male sterility
- Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) The commercial potential of developing F, hybrids in rapeseed-mustard appears very promising, as hybrid yield advantages equal to or even greater than those in com, millet and rice have been demonstrated (Banga, 1993).
- CMS cytoplasmic male sterility
- the self-incompatible line can be multiplied by inducing self seed set through C0 2 treatment in adequately ventilated polythene tunnels. Self-incompatible lines can be sown alternating with the self- compatible transgenic pollinator to produce large quantities of hybrid seed containing the herbicide resistant gene from the pollinator. False hybrid plants due to incomplete self- incompatibility and weeds will be culled by spraying the herbicide on the field.
- TMSS Transgenic Male Sterility System
- TMSS contains three genes i.e. herbicide resistance (bar) linked closely with male sterility (bamase) which requires a co-transformation processing to female parent (DeBlock and Debrouwer, 1991) and fertility restoration (barstar) to male parent.
- the present invention needs only one gene, herbicide resistance (bar) transfe ⁇ ed to male parent.
- Gene transformation is the process in which a foreign gene is randomly inserted in a spot of DNA, and the original gene in that spot is replaced. Extensive selection on great amount of treated individuals identifies the individual in which an invisible or not important gene is replaced, i.e. the transgenic line appears exactly the same as its original plant except the new trait from the foreign gene.
- the present invention makes use of male sterilities accumulating from heterosis research for decades in the world, i.e. from all three hybrid systems used currently:
- CMS system Male sterile cytoplasm is the source of male sterility, and the male sterility is multiplicated by its maintainer as the formate in hybrid rice, com, rapeseed, etc.
- EGMS Environmental genie male sterile
- Male sterility is produced and multiplicated by environmental manipulation, i.e. plants are male sterile when they head in long-day period at high temperature (summer) for hybrid seed production, and male fertile when they head in short-day period at low temperature (autumn) for its multiplication. It was reported that remarkable progress of EGMS has been made in rice, wheat, com, sorghum, rape, cotton, etc..
- CIMS Chemically induced male sterility
- TMSS Flexibility of hybrid combination: In TMSS, the female parent is two linked gene transgenic, and the male parent is one gene transgenic. Any elite variety has to be transformed before chance of test-crossing with any member in the hybrid system before entry into the system is granted.
- wild lines including naturally male sterile lines can not be test-crossed with the male parent because they do not have herbicide resistant (bar) and transgenic male sterile (bamase) genes which are essential for the female in the hybrid system.
- bar herbicide resistant
- Bamase transgenic male sterile
- any wild lines can not be test-crossed with the female parent because they do not have restoring gene (barstar) to the transgenic male sterile female parent in the hybrid system.
- choice of parent selection in the TMSS hybrid system is greatly limited.
- the male parent is single gene transgenic (bar), which indicates that there is no limitations at all for any female parent to get into the hybrid system other than current breeding objectives.
- any elite variety has to be transgenic right before formally entering the hybrid system as male parent. Before entering, test-crossing with the target female parent is conducted for satisfactory heterosis confirmation, so all the varieties are guaranteed for entering the hybrid system after its transgenic process.
- EGMS and CIMS are environmental and physiological male sterility, which means no specific restoring gene is required for restoring their fertility. Therefore, the elite transgenic male parent in CMS is also supposed to be elite in either EGMS or CIMS if the three systems exist together in the production.
- the elite transgenic male parent can be shared by each other.
- any new materials with good general combining ability from breeding program can be transgenic as potential male parent.
- a transgenic process can be done in about 3 years by continuously backcrossing with the new line that is used as recurrent parent and offspring selection based on herbicide resistance in most cases.
- Herbicide application In TMSS, herbicide is applied to the field of female plants for getting rid of another half of male fertile plants in the population for hybrid seed production. However, in accordance with the present invention, herbicide is applied to the field of F 1 hybrid plants to secure hybrid uniformity by eliminating false hybrids from outcrossing with either intraline of female parent or contaminated male parent, and plants from selfing of the female because of incomplete male sterility due to MS cytoplasm in CMS, environmental variation in EGMS and incomplete induction in CIMS.
- the present invention not only increases the effectiveness and reduces the cost of existing seed, crop, or plant heterosis, but also makes possible effective and economical commercial scale heterosis or hybridization of seeds, plants, or crops which before was impossible.
- the present invention is eloquently simple as described herein, it provides unexpected and heretofore unimaginable results such as reduced cost, reduced labor, increased production, increased purity, increased genetic diversity, increased hybrid vigor, increased use of heterosis or hybridization, and the like.
