Abstract
The present invention is directed to recombinant expression vectors comprising a suicide gene flanked by site-specific recombination sequences and the use of those expression vectors to produce trangenic plants that facilitating the production of hybrid plants. The transgenic plants produced in accordance with the present invention comprise a novel male-sterility/restorer system, wherein a male sterile plant is cross-fertilized with a restorer plant to produce a hybrid plant.
