ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for preventing the spread via pollen of a transgene encoding dog gastric lipase or collagen from transgenic plants comprising said transgene. In this method plants are transformed with a construct comprising the transgene genetically linked to a second construct conferring male sterility on the plant. Plants produced by the method are male sterile, and thus cannot spread the transgene via their pollen.
