Influence of Air Temperature on the Stability of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility ( CMS ) in Maize ( Zea mays L . )

In certain cases, the cultivation of genetically modified (GM) maize might require a high level of containment/ confinement to ensure coexistence with agricultural production methods that do not cultivate GM plants, such as organic farming. A single maize plant develops a huge amount of pollen (Uribelarrea et al., 2002; Westgate, Lizaso, & Batchelor, 2003), but only 5% of this amount pollinates...

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...

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 ...

Individual and combined (Plus-hybrid) effect of cytoplasmic male sterility and xenia on maize grain yield

Plus-hybrid effect refers to a combined effect of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and xenia in maize (Zea mays L.) It could be used in commercial production by growing a mixture of 80% CMS hybrid and 20% of another fertile hybrid. The aim of this research was to examine individual and combined CMS and xenia effects on two hybrids widely grown in Serbia. Sterile and fertile versions of ZP 1 and...
