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 ...

A biotechnology‐based male‐sterility system for hybrid seed production in tomato

The Plant Journal, 2020
Summary Incorporating male sterility into hybrid seed production reduces its cost and ensures high varietal purity. Despite these advantages, male‐sterile lines have not been widely used to produce tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) hybrid seeds.

Electrophysiological, Morphologic, and Transcriptomic Profiling of the Ogura-CMS, DGMS and Maintainer Broccoli Lines

Plants, 2022
To better serve breeding of broccoli, the electrophysiological, morphological and transcriptomic profiling of the isogenic Ogura-CMS, DGMS and their maintainer fertile lines, were carried out by scanning electron microscopy, investigation of agronomic ...

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.

Knockout of SlMS10 Gene (Solyc02g079810) Encoding bHLH Transcription Factor Using CRISPR/Cas9 System Confers Male Sterility Phenotype in Tomato

Plants, 2020
The utilization of male sterility into hybrid seed production reduces its cost and ensures high purity of tomato varieties because it does not produce pollen and has exserted stigmas.

A CRISPR-Cas9-Derived Male Sterility System for Tomato Breeding

Agronomy, 2023
Male sterility can reduce cost and enable high seed purity during hybrid seed production. However, the commercial application of male sterility in hybrid seed production has not been widely used in tomatoes.

Male Sterility in Maize after Transient Heat Stress during the Tetrad Stage of Pollen Development1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2019
Short moderate heat stress during the tetrad stage of pollen development targets vital metabolic pathways, ultimately leading to sterility and yield losses in maize. Shifts in the duration and intensity of ambient temperature impair plant development and

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
