Abstract
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.
