Abstract
We constructed two chimaeric ribonuclease genes that are specifically expressed in anthers of tobacco and rapeseed plants. The expression of these genes affects the production of functional and viable pollen yielding plants that are male sterile. This dominant gene for nuclear male sterility should facilitate the production of hybrid seed in various crops.
