Claims (8)

1. A recombinant promoter is characterized in that the recombinant promoter consists of an FMV promoter and a corn heat shock 70kDa protein intron (iZmHSP70) which are connected in series in sequence; the nucleotide sequence of the recombinant promoter is SEQ ID NO. 1.

2. A gene expression cassette for use in plant breeding, comprising the recombinant promoter of claim 1, and a chemoresistance gene sequence whose expression is regulated by the recombinant promoter; the chemoresistance gene is selected from herbicide resistance genes; the plant is corn.

3. A recombinant vector or a recombinant microorganism comprising the gene expression cassette according to claim 2.

4. A method of inducing male sterility in a transgenic plant comprising:

cultivating a transgenic plant comprising the gene expression cassette of claim 2 and applying an effective amount of herbicide during development of male reproductive tissue of the transgenic plant, thereby inducing male sterility in the transgenic plant.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said development of said male reproductive tissue is one or more stages selected from the group consisting of V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8, V9, V10, V11, V12, V13, and V14 stages of maize development.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein said development of said male reproductive tissue is one or both selected from the group consisting of V8 and V10 of maize development.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the herbicide is selected from one or more of acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitors, acetolactate synthase inhibitors, photosystem II inhibitors, protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitors, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase inhibitors, glutamine synthetase inhibitors or synthetic auxins.

8. A method of producing hybrid seed comprising:

1) applying an effective amount of a herbicide to a transgenic plant containing the gene expression cassette of claim 2 at a stage of male reproductive tissue development, thereby inducing male sterility in the transgenic plant;

2) fertilizing the transgenic plant with pollen from a plant of another line;

3) harvesting hybrid seed from said transgenic plant.
