Efficient transformation of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana and production of male-sterile plants by engineered anther ablation.

Abstract excerpt

Engineered male sterility in ornamental plants has many applications such as facilitate hybrid seed production, eliminate pollen allergens, reduce the need for deadheading to extend the flowering period, redirect resources from seeds to vegetative growth, increase flower longevity and prevent gene flow between genetically modified and related native plants. We have developed a reliable and efficient...
