The present invention relates to an isolated DNA molecule comprising an avidin-encoding nucleotide sequence, an expression vector comprising the DNA molecule, a transgenic plant comprising the DNA molecule, and to a method for producing male-sterile plants transgenic and to a method for reconstituting male sterile plants. The methods according to the invention are suitable, for example, for the production of male sterile plants during plant breeding and for the restoration of the male fertility of the plants thus established. ŕ |
