The common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a poly (hexa) ploid, derived from an amphi-
diploidization process involving the donor species—Triticum urartu, Aegilops speltoides …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses environment-sensitive genic male sterility
(EGMS) and its use in crops; particular emphasize is given on rice, but the principles and …

A comparison of two male sterility systems was carried out in wheat for hybrid seed
production and hybrid performance. Seventeen hybrid combinations based on Triticum …

Abstract Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench; 2 n= 2 x= 16) is an annual
crop that is cultivated widely around the world and contains an abundance of nutrients and …

Research and development of hybrid wheat has a long history. Pickett (1993) has
thoroughly summarized the principal events in this history through 1990. He begins the …

Pistillody, homeotic transformation of stamens into pistil-like structures, has been reported in
cytoplasmic substitution (alloplasmic) lines of common wheat (Triticum aestivum) with …

The objective of this experiment was to evalúate the male sterilizing activity induced by the
chemical hybridizing agent (CHA) clofencet, on four wheat varieties: two Triticum aestivum …

Emerging threats of climate change require the rapid development of improved varieties with
a higher tolerance to abiotic and biotic factors. Despite the success of traditional agricultural …

Male sterility is an important tool for obtaining crop heterosis. A thermo-sensitive cytoplasmic
male-sterile (TCMS) line was developed recently using a new method based on tiller …

Fertility alternation normally occurs in a novel type of thermo-photo-sensitive genic male
sterile (TGMS) wheat whose recessive genes in the nucleus are expressed as virtually …
