In plants, male sterility can be caused either by mitochondrial genes with coupled nuclear
genes or by nuclear genes alone; the resulting conditions are known as cytoplasmic male …

In many plant species, male-sterile female lines with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) or
nuclear-controlled environment-sensitive genic male sterility (EGMS) have long been used …

Key message A comprehensive understanding of CMS/Rf system enabled by modern omics
tools and technologies considerably improves our ability to harness hybrid technology for …

Global food security demands the development and delivery of new technologies to
increase and secure cereal production on finite arable land without increasing water and …

The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) phenotype in plants can be reversed by the action of
nuclear-encoded fertility restorer (Rf) genes. The molecular mechanism involved in Rf gene …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) determined by mitochondrial genes and restorer of fertility
(Rf) controlled by nuclear-encoded genes provide the breeding systems of many hybrid …

Background Analyses of speciation genes–genes that contribute to the cessation of gene
flow between populations–can offer clues regarding the ecological settings, evolutionary …

Since approximate a century ago, many hybrid crops have been continually developed by
crossing two inbred varieties. Owing to heterosis (hybrid vigor) in plants, these hybrids often …

Cytoplasmic male sterility and its fertility restoration via nuclear genes offer the possibility to
understand the role of mitochondria during microsporogenesis. In most cases …

Key message The male sterility system in plants has traditionally been utilized for hybrid
seed production. In last three decades, genetic manipulation for male sterility has …
