Identifying feature-specific genes that in a donor plant provide a predetermined feature, useful for example for preparing transgenic plants colonizable by mycorrhiza, comprises screening fusions of donor and acceptor genetic materials

TL;DRAbstract

Abstract: NOVELTY - Identifying feature-specific genes (A) that in a donor plant (D), provide a predetermined feature comprises:
\n
\n(a) preparing genetic donor material from (D);
\n
\n(b) preparing genetic receptor material from receptor plant (R) lacking the feature;
\n
\n(c) heterologous fusion of the two to form hybrid material (H);
\n
\n(d) culturing H and identifying model plants with the feature; and
\n
\n(e) genetic analysis to identify those genes that are part of (D), as (A).
\n
\nUSE - The method is useful for identifying feature-specific genes (A) that in a donor plant (D), provide a predetermined feature (claimed). The method is used to identify feature-specific genes and to generate transgenic or chimeric plants with preselected features for use in forestry, agriculture, environmental protection, pharmaceuticals and production of active compounds. A particular feature is susceptibility to colonization by mycorrhizal fungi,
