Use of associations between at least one nucleic sequence polymorphism of the sh2 gene and at least one seed quality characteristic in plant selection methods

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a nucleotide probe or of a nucleotide primer in a process for selecting plants having improved phenotypic seed quality characteristics, for detecting a polymorphic base or a polymorphic nucleotide sequence defining an allele of a polymorphic site of the Sh2 gene of sequence SEQ ID No. 1, said polymorphic base or said polymorphic nucleotide sequence being contained in a nucleic acid included in an Sh2 gene. Application to the production of transformed plants capable of producing seeds with improved industrial or agrofoods qualities.
