BRASSICACEAE WITH ALTERED FLORAL DEVELOPMENT

摘要

Provided are means and methods for obtaining plants from the family Brassicaceae, particularly plants from the genus Brassica and closely related genera, with altered floral development by providing plants with a chimeric gene, characterized in that upon introduction into the genome of a plant of the family Brassicaceae of the chimeric gene the phenotypic expression of a target B-type floral organ identity gene is reduced selectively in whorl 2.
