Patent ID: 8134045

Claim:
An isolated DNA encoding a protein involved in restoration of a cytoplasmic male sterile individual to fertility, selected from the group consisting of: (1) an isolated DNA which encodes a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 26; (2) an isolated DNA which encodes a protein having an amino acid sequence that is 92% or more homologous to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 26; (3) an isolated DNA having 95% of or higher homology to a DNA sequence encoding a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 26; (4) an isolated DNA which encodes a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 19; (5) an isolated DNA which encodes a protein having an amino acid sequence that is 92% or more homologous to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 19; (6) an isolated DNA having 95% or higher homology to a DNA sequence encoding a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 19; (7) an isolated DNA having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO. 18; and (8) an isolated DNA having 95% or higher homology to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO. 18.
