Abstract:
A method of producing a plant exhibiting one or more desired phenotypic traits, wherein the improvement comprises the steps of:(i) providing a first and a second transgenic plant;(ii) pollinating the first transgenic plant with pollen from the second transgenic plant to produce an embryo or seed, wherein:one of the transgenic plants comprises at least [one] two nucleic acid sequences, each nucleic acid sequence encoding for a phenotypic trait selected from the group consisting of herbicide resistance, the production of a polyhydroxyalkanoate male sterility, antisense RNA mediated inhibition of target mRNAs or sense RNA inhibition of mRNAs, wherein each nucleic acid sequence encoding for a phenotypic trait is operatively linked to a separate upstream activating sequence recognition site; andthe other transgenic plant comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a promoter operatively linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding for a transactivating protein which activates each of the upstream activating sequences; and(iii) growing the embryo or seed into a plant.
