Control Premature Seed-Pod Breakage in Crop Species

Detailed Technology Description

UC San Diego investigators have found a way to prevent the premature release of seed-pods from the crop species canola. Scientists have discovered the genes necessary for seed-pod breakage, and devised ways to control them. These Brassica genes, when introduced into Arabidopsis mutants with seed-pod defects, can fully rescue the Arabidopsis mutants. This technique also has been proven to work in canola.
