Muchless is known about the genes involved in plantmeiosis. However; the first homologs to yeastmeiosis genes were recently isolated (reviewedby Grossniklaus, Chap. 12), and many meiosismutants remain available for furthercharacterization (e.g., in maize and Arabidopsis;Neuffer et al. 1997; Yang and Sundaresan 2000).Genes that are expressed during the induction<strong>of</strong> meiosis have been identified in lily(Kobayashi et al. 1994). Most work on meiosisin plants has been accomplished throughinvestigating male meiosis, but for geneticengineering, female meiosis genes will be <strong>of</strong>particular interest. Some genes involved withfemale gametophyte development have beenidentified, <strong>of</strong> which some are specificallyexpressed in different cells <strong>of</strong> the femaleTable 14.1 Examples <strong>of</strong> isolated genes and their promoters that might be useful as tools for de novosynthesis <strong>of</strong> the apomixis trait in sexual cropsProcess to be monipulatedGene (expression/function)'<strong>Apomixis</strong> genes'not isolated yet (?)Ovule and nucellus-specific target gene expressionFBPI promoter (ovule-specific)DEFH9 promoter (ovule-specific)WM403 promoter (nucellus-specific)Nucellin eDNA (nucellus-specilic)Prevention <strong>of</strong> meiosis/ apomeiosisdiverse cDNAs (early meiosis-specific)pAWlL3 eDNA (early meiosis-specific)DMO gene (MMC* -specific)5YNl gene (chrom. condensation/pairing)Parthenogenesis (autonomous embryo development)5ERK gene (competence to form embryos)LfCl gene (competence 10 form embryos)BBM1gene (competence to form embryos)ImE51-4 promoter (embryo sac-specific)(Autonomous) endosperm developmentMWF/51 gene (suppressor)FI52 gene (suppressor)FJEIF/53 gene (suppressor)ImE51-4 promoter (embryo sac-specific)ImprintingMfTl als (hypomethylationJIndudble/ repressoble systemsSteroid-inducible promoterCopper-inducible promoterTetracycline-inducible!-inoctivalable promolerEthanol-inducibele promoter-MMC: Mega- and Microlpore molher cellI.(Origin)(Petunia)(Anthirrhinum)(waler-melon)(barley)(lily)(wheat)(Arabidopsis)(Arabidopsis)(carrot, Arabidopsis)(Arabidopsis)(Brossico, Arobidopsis)(moize)(Arobidopsis)(Arabidopsis)(Arabidopsis)(maize)(Arobidopsis)(mammals)(yeast)(bacterium)(fungus)ReferenceColombo el 01., 1997Rotino el 01., 1997Shen et 01., unpublishedChen and Foolad, 1997Kobayashi et 01., 1994Ji and langridge, 199~Klimyuk and Jones, 1997Bai et 01., 1999Schmidt et 01., 1997lotan el 01., 199BBoutilier et 01., unpublishedAmien and Dresselhaus, unpublishedGrossniklaus et 01., 1998bluo et 01., 1999luo et 01., 1999Ohad et 01., 1999Amien and Dresselhaus, unpublishedAdams el 01., 2000Vinkenoog et 01., 2000Schena et 01., 1991Melt et 01., 1993Weinmann et 01., 1994Caddick el 01., 1998
