Plant non-coding RNAs function in pollen development and male sterility
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 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.

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.
