Abstract excerpt
Anther-targeted expression of E. coli DNA (Adenosine-N6-)-Methyltransferase (DAM) in maize was tested as a means to produce male-sterile plants. A high frequency of male-sterile plants with reduced anther size was observed when DAM was regulated by the maize anther-specific promoter 5126 (5126:DAM) and placed upstream of the herbicide resistance gene, pat, regulated by the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S...
