A review of rice male sterility types and their sterility mechanisms
Male sterility plays an important role in the utilization of heterosis in rice. The establishment of male sterile lines in rice is one of the key technologies in hybrid rice production systems. The currently widely used male sterile line breeding systems

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.

Exploiting Genic Male Sterility in Rice: From Molecular Dissection to Breeding Applications
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) occupies a very salient and indispensable status among cereal crops, as its vast production is used to feed nearly half of the world’s population.

Male sterility and hybrid breeding in soybean. [PDF]
Hybrid breeding can help us to meet the challenge of feeding a growing world population with limited agricultural land. The demand for soybean is expected to grow; however, the hybrid soybean is still in the process of commercialization even though ...

The genetic basis of cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration in wheat
Hybrid wheat varieties give higher yields than conventional lines but are difficult to produce due to a lack of effective control of male fertility in breeding lines.

Male Sterility in Brassica [PDF]
MALE sterility has been reported in thirty-one genera1, but not previously in the genus Brassica. In the course of breeding work at this Station male sterile plants have been found in inbred material of three varieties of brussels sprout2–4. In one of these varieties one male sterile plant was also found in 5,000 non-inbred plants inspected4.

Male and female sterility in Zambia [PDF]
Background: Population measures of sterility are traditionally constructed for women, despite fertility and sterility being conditions of the couple. Estimates of male sterility provide insight into population-level sterility, and complement estimates ...

Advances in plant male sterility for hybrid seed production: an overview of conditional nuclear male sterile lines and biotechnology-based male sterile systems [PDF]
Male sterility forms the foundation of hybrid seed production technology in field crops. A variety of genetically controlled male sterility/fertility systems starting with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), genic male sterility (GMS) including conditional
