Analysis of the Maize dicer-like1 Mutant, fuzzy tassel, Implicates MicroRNAs in Anther Maturation and Dehiscence [PDF]
, 2016 Sexual reproduction in plants requires development of haploid gametophytes from somatic tissues. Pollen is the male gametophyte and develops within the stamen; defects in the somatic tissues of the stamen and in the male gametophyte itself can result in ...

Cytological and comparative proteomic analyses on male sterility in Brassica napus L. induced by the chemical hybridization agent monosulphuron ester sodium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Male sterility induced by a chemical hybridization agent (CHA) is an important tool for utilizing crop heterosis. Monosulphuron ester sodium (MES), a new acetolactate synthase-inhibitor herbicide belonging to the sulphonylurea family, has been developed ...

Starmaya: The first arabica F1 coffee hybrid produced using genetic male sterility [PDF]
, 2019 In the present paper, we evaluated the implementation of a seed production system based on the exploitation of male sterility on coffee. We studied specifically the combination between CIR-SM01 and Marsellesa® (a Sarchimor line), which provides a hybrid ...

Evaluation of effective gametocides for selective induction of male sterility in sorghum
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2016 Effective gametocides can serve as alternative agents to induce male sterility in sorghum. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of selected male gametocides in sorghum, to determine the optimum concentration of the chemicals ...

ps2, the gene responsible for functional sterility in tomato, due to non-dehiscent anthers, is the result of a mutation in a novel polygalacturonase gene [PDF]
, 2009 The recessive mutation ps-2, which appeared spontaneously in tomato, confers functional male sterility due to non-dehiscent anthers. In this study, we isolated and characterized the PS-2 gene.

A genetic basis for a postmeiotic X versus Y chromosome intragenomic conflict in the mouse. [PDF]
, 2012 Intragenomic conflicts arise when a genetic element favours its own transmission to the detriment of others. Conflicts over sex chromosome transmission are expected to have influenced genome structure, gene regulation, and speciation.

Characterisation and utilization of three distinct male sterile systems in marigold (Tagetes erecta)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 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.
