Abstract
A controllably constitutively female sterile plant is provided. A gene critical to female fertility is identified and the native gene inactivated. The gene is cloned, linked to an inducible promoter and inserted into the plant. The result is a plant that is constitutively female sterile with inducible female fertility.
