PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a construct and a method for regulating reproductive development, in particular, genetic removal of reproductive tissue in angiosperm and gymnosperm species. Reproductive preference promoters, regulatory elements, and cytotoxic nucleotide sequences for the regulation of reproductive development, particularly for genetic removal of reproductive tissue in angiosperm and gymnosperm species. An isolated polynucleotide that confers reproductive-preferred gene expression or is selected from the group consisting of functional variants thereof. [Selection figure] None |
