Abstract excerpt
The NEC1 gene, previously isolated from Petunia hybrida, is expressed at high levels in nectaries, and in a very localized fashion in stamens, particularly in the anther stomium cells and the upper part of the filament. To elucidate the function of the NEC1 gene, co-suppression was employed for down-regulation of NEC1 expression, and transposon insertion mutagenesis was used to knock out the NEC1 function. Among...
