Genetically engineered cytoplasmic male sterility
Cytoplasmic male sterility, conditioned by some maternally inherited plant mitochondrial genomes, is the most expedient method to produce uniform populations of pollen-sterile plants on a commercial scale. Plant mitochondrial genomes are not currently amenable to genetic transformation, but genetic manipulation of the plastid genome allows engineering ...

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.

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 ...

Cytological characterization and allelism testing of anther developmental mutants identified in a screen of maize male sterile lines. [PDF]
Proper regulation of anther differentiation is crucial for producing functional pollen, and defects in or absence of any anther cell type result in male sterility.

Reproductive Compatibility Within and Among Spruce Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Populations [PDF]
Spruce bud worm moths collected as larvae from two species of host trees in four populations were mated in single pairs in two years. In 1980 but not 1981, more of the intra-population matings than the inter-population matings were fertile.

Cytoplasmic genetic diversity of potato varieties bred in Russia and FSU countries
Male sterility in potato is little studied since traditional breeding is based on the vegetative reproduction of highly heterozygous tetraploid varieties.

Current advances in genomics and breeding of leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) [PDF]
This review gives an overview of agricultural topics on a non-model species, in other words, leaf chicory. Often classified as a minor crop, \u201cRadicchio\u201d, the Italian name of leaf chicory, is assuming a very important role at both a local and ...
