Abstract
The present invention provides genes and encoded proteins that are involved in meiocyte formation during the growth of plants. The transformation of plants and plant-related hosts with these genes in altered or unaltered form, or the mutation of these genes in endogenous form, renders a plant capable during growth of bearing seedless fruits and/or pollenless flowers. The invention further provides methods of producing transgenic plants which are capable of bearing seedless fruits and/or pollenless flowers.
