Molecular Markers Associated to Two Non-allelic Genic Male Sterility Genes in Peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) [PDF]
Male sterility is of high importance in hybrid seed production of hot and sweet peppers. Genic (or nuclear) male sterility (GMS) is a simply inherited (usually monogenic recessive) and highly stable trait.

Mutation of glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase leads to thermosensitive genic male sterility in rice and Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Summary Thermosensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines serve as the major genetic resource for two‐line hybrid breeding in rice. However, their unstable sterility under occasional low temperatures in summer highly limits their application.

Mapping and Analysis of a Novel Genic Male Sterility Gene in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) [PDF]
Seed production is critical for watermelon production, which mostly involves first-generation hybrid varieties. However, watermelon hybrid seed production currently requires complex procedures, including artificial isolation and pollination.

Deficiency of a triterpene pathway results in humidity-sensitive genic male sterility in rice [PDF]
In flowering plants, the pollen coat surrounds the male germ cells and protects against dehydration, damage and pathogen attack. Here, the authors show that a deficiency in terpenoid synthesis results in rice pollen over-dehydration and leads to a ...

A natural allele of OsMS1 responds to temperature changes and confers thermosensitive genic male sterility. [PDF]
Changes in ambient temperature influence crop fertility and production. Understanding of how crops sense and respond to temperature is thus crucial for sustainable agriculture.

Genic male and female sterility in vegetable crops
Abstract Vegetable crops are greatly appreciated for their beneficial nutritional and health components. Hybrid seeds are widely used in vegetable crops for advantages such as high yield and improved resistance, which require the participation of male (stamen) and female (pistil) reproductive organs.

Environment‐sensitive genic male sterility in rice and other plants
AbstractEnvironment‐sensitive genic male sterility is a type of male sterility that is affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Environment‐sensitive genic male sterile lines are not only used in two‐line hybrid breeding but are also good materials for studying plant−environment interactions.

Plant non-coding RNAs function in pollen development and male sterility
Male sterility is classified as either cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) or genic male sterility (GMS). Generally, CMS involves mitochondrial genomes interacting with the nuclear genome, while GMS is caused by nuclear genes alone.
