ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides plant calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CCaMK) nucleic acids, polypeptides, antibodies, and related methods. CCaMK genes are expressed in anthers in a developmental stage-specific manner. Suppression of CCaMK expression, e.g., by an antisense transgene, results in male-sterility.
