(barnase) in conjunction with either of two tapetum-specific promoters, TA29 and A9.
Several transformation vectors based on different promoter and marker gene combinations
were developed and tested for their efficacy in generating agronomically viable male-sterile
lines. Use of strong constitutive promoters (eg CaMV 35S or its double-enhancer variant) to
express the marker gene (bar) in barnase constructs generated male-sterile plants at an …
