Patent ID: 11913011
Assignee: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATION
Field: Biotechnology (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  A | IPC A  C

Claim 0:
1. A nucleic acid molecule comprising a functional restorer gene allele for wheat G-type cytoplasmic male sterility, wherein said functional restorer gene allele comprises a coding sequence operably-linked to a plant-expressible promoter and to a transcription termination and polyadenylation region,
wherein said coding sequence encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 5, said sequence identity being determined by aligning two sequences over the entire length according to the Needleman and Wunsch global alignment algorithm using default settings,
wherein at least one of said operably linked elements is heterologous with respect to at least one other element, or wherein at least one of said operably linked elements comprises a nucleic acid that has been modified by inserting, deleting or substituting one or more nucleotides in the native nucleic acid, and
wherein:
a) said plant-expressible promoter comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 from the nucleotide at position 1 to the nucleotide at position 1000, or
b) said transcription termination and polyadenylation region comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4 from the nucleotide at position 2434 to the nucleotide at position 3827.
