A number of S male-sterile plants from several shrunken-2 inbred lines were crossed initially with an R138-TR inbred line pollinator carrying the nonrestoring genotype for S sterile cytoplasm. One such cross, involving a male-sterile female parent from inbred line M825, produced, unexpectedly, a number of male-fertile F(1) progeny, along with the expected male-sterile off-spring. Pollen records...

Heterosis has been utilized in crops for a long time, and although crop fertility is the basis utilization of heterosis, there limited information concerning genic male sterility (GMS) mungbean. Therefore, based on sterile mutant, M1, obtained by EMS mutagenesis Weilyu cultivar, this project used multi-omics analysis to detect site further identify its candidate gene, then mechanism gene was di...

of the 4BS chromosome arm (Endo et al., 1991). The dominant male-sterile genes Ms2 and Ms3 are located Few genetic male sterility (GMS) genes have been mapped in in chromosome arms 4DS and 5AS, respectively (Mchexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Our objective was to locate to chromosomes the GMS genes in mutants FS2, FS3, FS20, and FS24. Intosh et al., 1998). The Ms4 gene is a dominant male...

Reduction of mosquito populations will, at least, reduce substantially the transmission of malaria disease. One potential method of achieving this reduction is the environmentally-friendly population control method known as the Sterile Insect Control (SIT) method. The SIT method has so far not been widely used against insect disease vectors, such as mosquitoes, because of various practical diff...
