Definitions

  • the present invention relates to transgenic plants with masked fertility, the masked fertility by an altered expression of the nucleic acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2 or its homolog, or by a change in the biological activity of the nucleic acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2 or its homolog encoded gene product.
  • the present invention further relates to the regulatory nucleic acid sequence which naturally controls the expression of the MYB26 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • the present invention further relates to ner processes for producing the transgenic plants according to the invention.
  • MYB-type proteins form a superfamily of structurally similar transcription factors. MYB proteins are found in both plant and animal organisms and influence a variety of different metabolic pathways. The common structural motif of this protein family is the MYB domain, which can bind to a specific D ⁇ A sequence. The classic MYB domain consists of two or three very similar sequence repeats (repeats: Rl, R2, R3) of 50-53 AS length. Most plant-based MYB proteins have only two sequence i? Epe ⁇ t.s R2, R3). Arabidopsis has already detected 97 different R2R3-type proteins. This group forms the largest regulatory gene family known to date in plants.
  • MYB genes that have so far been characterized functionally are known to regulate, inter alia, the phenylpropanoid metabolism, to influence cell shape and differentiation, to be involved in the hormone response or to be activated in the course of plant defense reactions.
  • Summary information on the MYB family can be found in, among others, Romero et al .: More than 80 R2R3-MYB regulatory genes in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant J. 14, 273-284 (1998), Kranz et al: Towards functional characterization of the members of the R2R3-MYB gene family from Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant J. 16, 263-276 (1998) and Martin and Paz-Ares: MYB transcription factors in plants.
  • the MYB26 gene belongs to the MYB family described above.
  • a cDNA clone from Arabidopsis thaliana (Genbank Accession No. 175997) is available from this MYB26 gene, but it has not hitherto been known in which specific metabolic pathways this gene intervenes or in which tissues it is expressed.
  • a genomic clone (MDC16) is under Genbank Accession number AB019229 registered.
  • male sterile plants can be produced by different methods. In the simplest case, the male flower organs are isolated from the rest of the plant by bags or simply cut off. However, these procedures are very time, personnel and cost intensive. In addition, a large number of useful plants contain male and female organs within the same flower, which makes these processes even more difficult.
  • Male sterile plants can also be created with the help of pollen-killing or pollen-blocking chemicals (gametoids).
  • gametoids pollen-killing or pollen-blocking chemicals
  • the advantage of these chemical processes is that only temporary sterility occurs, which only persists for the duration of the treatment. However, most of these gametocides have additional phytotoxic properties. Furthermore, the treatment for plants with a long flowering phase must be repeated several times.
  • US Pat. No. 5,955,653 uses a beta-1,3-glucanase which is specifically expressed in wallpaper unicells to induce sterility.
  • US 5,962,769 achieves the same goal by increasing the endogenous avidin concentrations.
  • WO 9008830 describes the expression of protein inhibitor genes or of so-called killer genes in the male inflorescences which are intended to cause the anthers and associated tissues to die off.
  • WO 90/08831 seeks a similar effect through the expression of disruptor genes which prevent mitochondrial cell respiration.
  • WO 89/10396 very generally proposes to transform the plant genome with exogenous so-called “male sterility DNAs” (for example coding for noses, doses, proteases, lipases etc.), which, when expressed in cells of the stamens, metabolism, function or interfere with the development of this cell.
  • EP 0329308 describes antisense DNAs for influencing the Pollen production used.
  • the hybrids are often characterized by uniformity, increased growth, higher yield or increased resistance to pathogens. This effect, known as heterosis, is of great commercial interest for agricultural businesses or plant breeders and requires targeted crossings.
  • Male sterile plants facilitate these crossbreeding techniques because they are easier to obtain hybrid offspring.
  • male sterile and male fertile plants are planted side by side in one field.
  • the male sterile plants can only be fertilized by pollen from the male fertile plants and accordingly only produce hybrid seeds. It is particularly advantageous if the sterility is not permanent, as in most known sterile mutants, but is reversible, so that e.g. controlled self-fertilization attempts will be possible as part of later selection and characterization processes.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide novel male sterile plants and processes for their production.

  • a weak signal at the level of the wild-type band in sterile plants can be explained by the transposon jumping out in some cells of the plant (somatic sectors).

The integration of the transposable elements in genes of the mother plant often leads to the failure of the corresponding gene function and in many cases to a wild-type appearance of the affected plant. To build up the knockout population, the autonomous En-1 element from Zea mays was transferred to Arabidopsis using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

  • this vector carries the HPT gene under the control of the viral CaMV 35S promoter. Seeds of a transformant with a single T-DNA insert were sown on hygromycin-containing medium. Seeds of the resulting hygromycin-resistant plants (T 2 generation) were then sown on a medium containing kanamycin. In the plants selected in this way (T 3 generation), the Enl element was transposed out of the T-DNA.
  • T 4 generation Those plants of the T 4 generation which carried one or more transposed En-1 elements but no longer any En-1 elements in the T-DNA were identified by means of PCR. However, these plants still contained the T-DNAs without integrated En-1 elements.
  • T-DNA negative plants To generate En-1 positive, T-DNA negative plants, the T 4 generation was crossed with the wild-type Arabidopis thaliana ecotype Columbia and En-1 positive, T-DNA negative plants (S 0 generation) were identified by PCR.
  • the mutant phenotype is linked to the homozygous state of a particular integration of the transposons.
  • 18 sister plants of the en line 7AAB12 were analyzed. Six of these plants were sterile, indicating a recessive mutation. Phenotypic analysis of 18 offspring each of the fertile individuals showed that seven of the 18 parent plants also produced sterile offspring and were therefore heterozygous for andl, whereas five plants showed no sterile offspring and were therefore homozygous for the wild type allele.
  • flanking DNA from eight different en insertions was obtained by “transposon insertion display” (TID), cf. Yephremov and Saedler, The Plant Journal 21, 495-505, 2000, and cloned into the pGemTeasy vector (company Promega)
