ldentification of a Mitochondrial Protein Associated with Cytoplasmic Male Sterility in Petunia

The petunia fused gene ( pcf ), which is associated with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), is composed of sequences derived from atp9, coxll, and an unidentified reading frame termed urfS. To determine whether the pcf gene is expressed at the protein level, we produced antibodies to synthetic peptides specified by the coxll and urfs portions of the pcf gene. Anti-COXII peptide antibodies recogn...

Identification of a mitochondrial protein associated with cytoplasmic male sterility in petunia.

The petunia fused gene (pcf), which is associated with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), is composed of sequences derived from atp9, coxII, and an unidentified reading frame termed urfS. To determine whether the pcf gene is expressed at the protein level, we produced antibodies to synthetic peptides specified by the coxII and urfS portions of the pcf gene. Anti-COXII peptide antibodies recogniz...

Cytoplasmic Male Sterility in Barley. Xi. the msm2 Cytoplasm.

A new cytoplasmic male sterility in barley (Hordeum vulgare s.l.) is described and designated as msm2. The cytoplasm was derived from a selection of the wild progenitor of barley (H. vulgare ssp. spontaneum). This selection, 79BS14-3, originates from the Southern Coastal Plain of Israel. The selection 79BS14-3 has a normal spike fertility in Finland. When 79BS14-3 was crossed by cv. Adorra, the...

The Texas cytoplasm of maize: cytoplasmic male sterility and disease susceptibility.

The Texas cytoplasm of maize carries two cytoplasmically inherited traits, male sterility and disease susceptibility, which have been of great interest both for basic research and plant breeding. The two traits are inseparable and are associated with an unusual mitochondrial gene, T-urf13, which encodes a 13-kilodalton polypeptide (URF13). An interaction between fungal toxins and URF13, which r...
