Patent ID: 8420893

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of: a) a polynucleotide having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:1 or 3, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising two APETELA2 (AP2) domains and the amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 156-169 of SEQ ID NO:2 or an amino acid sequence that differs from the amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 156-169 of SEQ ID NO: 2 by one amino acid residue, and wherein said polypeptide renders a plant cell embryogenic; and b) a polynucleotide encoding an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising two APETELA2 (AP2) domains and the amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 156-169 of SEQ ID NO:2 or an amino acid sequence that differs from the amino acid sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 156-169 of SEQ ID NO: 2 by one amino acid residue, and wherein said polypeptide renders a plant cell embryogenic.
