A process is described for producing fertile hybrid seed or hybrid seed comprising fertile and sterile seed using male-sterile plants created by employing molecular techniques to manipulate genes that are capable of controlling the production of fertile pollen in plants. Hybrid seed production is simplified and improved by this approach, which can be extended to plant crop species for which commercially acceptable hybrid seed production methods have not been available.

L'invention porte sur un procédé de production de graines hybrides fertiles ou de graines hybrides comprenant des graines fertiles et stériles, faisant appel à des plantes mâles stériles obtenues par des techniques moléculaires afin de manipuler des gènes capables d'agir sur la production de pollens fertiles dans des plantes. Il est possible d'étendre à des espèces de plantes cultivées pour lesquelles il n'existe pas de techniques de production de graines hybrides satisfaisantes sur le plan commercial, ce procédé permettant de simplifier et d'améliorer la production de graines hybrides.
