Brassicaceae crops display strong hybrid vigor, and have long been subject to F 1 hybrid
breeding. Because the most reliable system of F 1 seed production is based on cytoplasmic …

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

Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss.(Indian mustard) is an economically important edible oil
crop. Over the years, plant breeders have developed many elite varieties of B. juncea with …

Key message Overview of the current status of GMS and CMS systems available in Brassica
vegetables, their molecular mechanism, wild sources of sterile cytoplasm and exploitation of …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is of major agronomical relevance in hybrid breeding. In
gametophytic CMS, abortion of pollen is determined by the grain genotype, while in …

The Brassica coenospeceis have treasure troves of genes that could be beneficial if
introgressed into cultivated Brassicas to combat the current conditions of climate change …

Wild relatives of Brassica are a rich reservoir of genes that are invaluable for the
improvement of cultivated species. Sinapis alba is a close relative of crop Brassicas that …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is primarily caused by chimeric genes located in the
mitochondrial genomes. In Brassica juncea, orf288 has been identified as a CMS …

Plant cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is maternally inherited and often manifested as
aborted pollen development, but the molecular basis of abortion remains to be identified. To …

Plant male sterility has often been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction; however, the
mechanism in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has not been elucidated. This study set out to …
