Claim:
1. A substantially purified or isolated nucleic acid or nucleic acid fragment encoding TRANSPARENT TESTA 8 (TT8), or complementary or antisense to a sequence encoding TTG1, said nucleic acid or nucleic acid fragment comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) sequences shown in Sequence ID Nos: 15 or 64; (b) full length complements of the sequences recited in (a); (c) sequences antisense to the sequences recited in (a) and (b); (d) functionally active fragments and variants of the sequences recited in (a), (b) and (c), having a size of at least 45 nucleotides; and (e) functionally active variants of the sequences recited in (a), (b), (c) and (d) having at least 90% identity to the sequence recited in (a), (b), (c) or (d), wherein the nucleic acid or nucleic acid fragment is operably linked to a heterologus polynucleotide molecule.
