Mapping and Analysis of a Novel Genic Male Sterility Gene in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
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.

Male and female sterility in Zambia

Demographic Research, 2014
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 ...

Current advances in genomics and breeding of leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

The Effect of X-Rays on Cytological Traits of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) [PDF]

, 2016
The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the most important pests of tomato. With the purpose of developing environmentally friendly control tactics such as the inherited sterility (IS) technique against this ...

Detection of candidate gene LsACOS5 and development of InDel marker for male sterility by ddRAD-seq and resequencing analysis in lettuce

Scientific Reports, 2022
A new breeding method of F1 hybrid using male sterility would open an exciting frontier in lettuce breeding, a self-pollinating crop. Male sterility is a crucial trait in F1 hybrid breeding.

Advances in plant male sterility for hybrid seed production: an overview of conditional nuclear male sterile lines and biotechnology-based male sterile systems

Frontiers in Plant Science
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

Preliminary investigation of the effect of ethyl 4'fluorooxanilate as a male gametocide of sweet stem sorghum

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019
An effective male sterility system enables targeted crosses between parent plants with desired and complementary characteristics. The use of chemical hybridising agents (CHAs) to induce male sterility is quicker and more efficient than manual ...

Extensive Structural Variations Between Mitochondrial Genomes of CMS and Normal Peppers (Capsicum Annuum L.) Revealed by Complete Nucleotide Sequencing [PDF]

, 2014
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is an inability to produce functional pollen that is caused by mutation of the mitochondrial genome. Comparative analyses of mitochondrial genomes of lines with and without CMS in several species have revealed structural ...
