Maintenance of normal vegetative growth via attenuation of barnase as an agent of floral tissue ablation in Populus

Creator:

Wei, Hao

Abstract:

To reduce the environmental impacts caused by gene flow from transgenic trees, reproductive sterility genes have been developed that use a floral regulatory element linked to a cell toxin. This results in dysfunction or ablation of floral tissues, causing sterility. However, floral promoters often permit low levels of expression in...
