Cytoplasmic Male Sterility-Associated Mitochondrial Gene orf312 Derived from Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Cultivar Tadukan [PDF]
Background Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a trait associated with non-functional pollen or anthers, caused by the interaction between mitochondrial and nuclear genes.

Differences in homologous and heterologous nucleocytoplasmic interactions of cytoplasmic male sterility lines in Gossypium barbadense [PDF]
The utilization of crop hybrids plays an important role in crop breeding and production, and the innovation of the male sterile germplasm is the basis for this utilization.

The genetic basis of cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration in wheat [PDF]
The development of hybrid wheat cultivars is hampered by the lack of an effective way to control male fertility in breeding lines. Here, the authors report the identification of two restorer-of-fertility genes Rf1 and Rf3 that can restore fertility of ...

Characterisation and utilization of three distinct male sterile systems in marigold (Tagetes erecta)
Three distinct male sterile systems were identified in marigold (Tagetus erecta L.) and classified as apetaloid, petaloid and gynomonoecious types based on their floral morphology.

Analysis of cytoplasmic effects and fine-mapping of a genic male sterile line in rice. [PDF]
Cytoplasm has substantial genetic effects on progeny and is important for yield improvement in rice breeding. Studies on the cytoplasmic effects of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) show that most types of CMS have negative effects on yield-related traits

Search for cytoplasmic male sterility plants and its maintainer plants of carrots in Rogneda variety
Relevance. Hybrid seed production of carrots is carried out on a three-line basis, which suggests the presence of a male sterile maternal line and a fertile paternal line. For the reproduction of a male sterile line, a maintainer line is needed.

Puzzles in modern biology. I. Male sterility, failure reveals design [PDF]
Many human males produce dysfunctional sperm. Various plants frequently abort pollen. Hybrid matings often produce sterile males. Widespread male sterility is puzzling. Natural selection prunes reproductive failure. Puzzling failure implies something that we do not understand about how organisms are designed.

Variable Penetrance among Different Sources of the Male Fertility Restoration Allele of Onion
Hybrid onion (Allium cepa) seed is produced using cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). For the most commonly used source of onion CMS, male fertile plants possess male sterile (S) cytoplasm and dominant allele(s) at one nuclear male fertility locus (Ms ...
