For the evolution of new pearl millet hybrids with diverse cytoplasmic background suitable for specific areas and condition, there is a need for diversified CMS sources among locally adaptable lines and identification of locally adaptable restorers. The present study was undertaken to screen the male sterile and restorer lines among the crosses of five male sterile lines and thirty inbreds of p...

The oilseed rape plant, Brassica napus, possesses two endogenous male sterile cytoplasms, nap and pol. Previous studies have shown that nuclear restoration of pol cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is conditioned by a gene, Rfp, that is also involved in modifying transcripts of the pol CMS-associated orf224/atp6 mtDNA region. We now find that the nap nuclear restorer gene Rfn apparently is identi...

The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) phenotype in plants can be reversed by the action of nuclear-encoded fertility restorer (Rf) genes. The molecular mechanism involved in Rf gene-mediated processing of CMS-associated transcripts is unclear, as are the identities of other proteins that may be involved in the CMS-Rf interaction. In this study, we cloned the restorer gene Rf5 for Hong-Lian CMS i...

Original scientific paper This paper focuses on the advancement of electric power quality tendencies of an induction motor as well as alleviating the consequence on account of the prolonged duration voltage discrepancy and also quite a short time period voltage variance of these kinds of that over voltage, under voltage continuous interruption, impermanent voltage fall together with voltage cli...

Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a custom power device used in electrical distribution system for power quality improvement. The main application of DVR is for voltage compensation of sensitive loads against voltage disturbances such as voltage sag and voltage swell in distribution lines. It is a series connected device and is able to compensate voltage sag and voltage swell by injecting a vol...

BACKGROUND The use of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in F1 hybrid seed production of chili pepper is increasingly popular. However, the molecular mechanisms of cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration remain poorly understood due to limited transcriptomic and genomic data. Therefore, we analyzed the difference between a CMS line 121A and its near-isogenic restorer line 121C in tra...

Transgenic photo-thermo sensitive genic male sterility Oryza sativa L. cv. "261S" plants with the anti-Waxy gene were successfully obtained using an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated co-transformation method. Marker-free homozygous transgenic lines with the anti-Waxy gene were obtained. The setting seed rates of the transgenic plants via self-pollination or via crossing with the restorer line ...

Conflict/reconciliation between mitochondria and nuclei in plants is manifested by the fate of pollen (viable or nonviable) in the cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)/fertility restoration (Rf) system. Through positional cloning, we identified a nuclear candidate gene, RETROGRADE-REGULATED MALE STERILITY (RMS) for Rf17, a fertility restorer gene for Chinese wild rice (CW)-type CMS in rice (Oryza s...
