A Cryptic Cytoplasmic Male Sterility Unveils a Possible Gynodioecious Past for Arabidopsis thaliana
Gynodioecy, the coexistence of hermaphrodites and females (i.e. male-sterile plants) in natural plant populations, most often results from polymorphism at genetic loci involved in a particular interaction between the nuclear and cytoplasmic genetic compartments (cytonuclear epistasis): cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). Although CMS clearly contributes to the coevolution of involved nuclear loci...
متن کاملAn evolutionarily conserved mitochondrial orf108 is associated with cytoplasmic male sterility in different alloplasmic lines of Brassica juncea and induces male sterility in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.
Nuclear-mitochondrial gene interactions governing cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in angiosperms have been found to be unique to each system. Fertility restoration of three diverse alloplasmic CMS lines of Brassica juncea by a line carrying the fertility-restorer gene introgressed from Moricandia arvensis prompted this investigation to examine the molecular basis of CMS in these lines. Since p...
متن کاملTransfer of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility into Rice
Transfer of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility into Rice Diversifying the existing cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) sources of rice is indispensable for a sustainable production system of hybrid seed. Ahmadikhah et al. report that maintainer line Yosen B was converted to a CMS line (Yosen A) in three generations by markerassisted backcrossing. The recurrent parent genome content of the final CMS line w...
متن کاملCytoplasmic Genetic Male Sterility in Plants – a Molecular Perspective
Male sterility is defined as the failure of plants to produce functional anthers, pollen, or male gametes. First documentation of male sterility came in 1763 when Kölreuter observed anther abortion within species and specific hybrids. It is more prevalent than female sterility, probably because, male sporophyte and gametophyte less protected from environment than ovule and embryo sac. Male ster...
متن کاملCytoplasmic male sterility in Brassicaceae crops
Brassicaceae crops display strong hybrid vigor, and have long been subject to F1 hybrid breeding. Because the most reliable system of F1 seed production is based on cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), various types of CMS have been developed and adopted in practice to breed Brassicaceae oil seed and vegetable crops. CMS is a maternally inherited trait encoded in the mitochondrial genome, and the ...
