A class of nuclear genes termed 'restorers of fertility'(Rf) acts to suppress the expression of
abnormal mitochondrial genes associated with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). In petunia …

The petunia fused gene (pcf), which is associated with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), is
composed of sequences derived from atp9, coxII, and an unidentified reading frame termed …

Plastid genomes of algae resemble those of terrestrial plants in form, size, and rate of
nucleotide sequence change. They are circular and range in size from 73 kilobases (kb) to …

Mesophyll protoplasts of eggplant (cv Black Beauty) and of Solanum torvum (both 2 n= 2 x=
24) were fused using a modification of the Menczel and Wolfe PEG/DMSO procedure …

In higher plants, male reproductive (pollen) development is known to be disrupted in a class
of mitochondrial mutants termed cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) mutants. Despite the …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a mitochondrially encoded trait, which is characterized
by a failure of plants to produce viable pollen. We have investigated the protein profile of …

Δ 5-3β-Ηydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Δ 5-3β-HSD; EC 1.1. 1.145), an enzyme converting
pregn-5-ene-3β-ol-20-one (pregnenolone) to pregn-5-ene-3, 20-dione (isoprogesterone) …

Embryogenic nucellar-callus from three Citrus types was used for protoplast isolation. The
protoplasts were fused by the 'donor-recipient'procedure by which the nuclear-division of the …

Transcripts of the Petunia mitochondrial cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)-associated S-Pcf
locus, which consists of three co-transcribed genes (pcf, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 …

The rps12 gene transcripts encoding mitochondrial ribosomal protein S12 are partially
edited in petunia mitochondria. Different petunia lines were found vary in the extent of rps12 …
