Cytoplasmic male sterility in sorghum: Organization and expression of mitochondrial genes in Indian CMS cytoplasms

Thoughts on Cytoplasmic Male Sterility in cms-T Maize.

Mitochondrial complementation and cytoplasmic male sterility in wheat.

RTIFICIAL mixtures of mitochondria from various unrelated inbred lines A of maize exhibit oxidative and phosphorylative activities which correspond to the activities of mitochondria of hybrids of these lines ( SARKISSIAN and SRI~ASTAVA 1967; MCDANIEL and SARKISSIAN 1968). This phenomenon has been called mitochondrial complementation (MCDANIEL and SARKISSIAN 1966). Complementation reflects dissi...

Transcriptome Sequencing and De Novo Analysis of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility and Maintenance in JA-CMS Cotton

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is the failure to produce functional pollen, which is inherited maternally. And it is known that anther development is modulated through complicated interactions between nuclear and mitochondrial genes in sporophytic and gametophytic tissues. However, an unbiased transcriptome sequencing analysis of CMS in cotton is currently lacking in the literature. This stud...

Plant Mitochondrial Genome Evolution and Cytoplasmic Male Sterility

Mitochondria are responsible for providing energy currency to life processes in the molecular form of ATP and are therefore typically referred to as the power factories of cells. Plant mitochondria are also relevant to the common phenomenon of cytoplasmic male sterility, which is agronomically important in various crop species. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a complex trait that may be inf...

Cytoplasmic 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 ...
