GENETIC SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE FLORAL DEVELOPMENT OF A DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANT, AND USE THEREOF IN DETECTION AND SELECTION PROCESSES

摘要

The subject matter of the present invention relates to a genetic system for controlling the floral development of a dicotyledonous plant, said system including a combination of two genetic control elements, namely a first genetic control element (A/a) present in a dicotyledonous plant, in the form of a dominant allele (A), and a recessive allele (a), and a second genetic control element (G/g) present in a dicotyledon plant, in the form of a dominant allele (G), and a recessive allele (g), wherein the first genetic control element has been artificially inserted into said dicotyledonous plant. The above system enables the sex of the flowers of dicotyledonous plants to be controlled and/or changed.
