This work reports on modifying the Upstream Regulatory Module (URM, 1.5 Kb region upstream of the open reading frame) of Anther Expressing Gene 1 (AEG1) from cotton to achieve anther specific activity. AEG1 was identified in a previous study aimed to isolate a promoter with tapetum specific activity. Such a promoter could then be used to express barnase and barstar genes for developing male sterile and restorer lines for hybrid seed production in cotton. The AEG1 URM was observed to be active in tapetum as well as in roots making it unusable to drive the expression of barnase gene. Analysis of the URM showed the presence of several root specific motifs. Two modified AEG1 URMs were developed, by removing or mutating these motifs and its activity checked in tobacco. The activity of one of the modified URMs, AEG1(DelBmut) was restricted to the anther tissue as observed using the reporter gene beta-glucuronidase. The study also demonstrates that male sterile lines could be developed in tobacco using the AEG1(DelBmut) URM to express the barnase gene. This work thus shows the possibility of engineering promoters to achieve tissue specificity and to develop male sterile lines in cotton.

Crosses between Triticum timopheevi, as maternal donor, and T. aestivum can lead to cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) plants. The T. timopheevi derived mitochondrial DNA from parental, cms, and fertility-restored lines differs from that of T. aestivum derived mtDNA in the coxI gene region. Our previous results for cms lines showed that there is an open reading frame, orf256, upstream from coxI in T. timopheevi derived mtDNA that is not present in T. aestivum DNA. The 5′ flanking region and the first 33 nucleotides of the coding region of orf256 are identical to the corresponding region of T. aestivum coxI, whereas the rest of orf256, including the 3′ flank, is not related to coxI. Also, the organization of orf256 and coxI on a HindIII fragment from T. timopheevi derived mtDNA are identical in T. timopheevi, cms, and fertility-restored lines. We now report that the DNA sequence of orf256 is identical in T. timopheevi, cms, and fertility-restored lines. Major transcripts in cms and fertility-restored lines encode both orf256 and coxI with 5′ termini like coxI mRNA of T. aestivum, whereas parental mitochondria from T. timopheevi have major transcripts with 5′ termini within the orf256 coding region. Mitochondria from cms and fertility-restored lines have the potential to produce a protein that would not be present in parental T. timopheevi or in T. aestivum.Key words: cytoplasmic male sterility, wheat, mitochondrial DNA, mitochondrial RNA, coxI.
