Key message The review outlines past failures, present status and future prospects of hybrid
wheat, and includes information on CMS/CHA/transgenic approaches for male sterility …

Male sterility is a valuable trait for plant breeding and hybrid seed production. The dominant
male-sterile gene Ms2 in common wheat has facilitated the release of hundreds of breeding …

Male sterility is an essential trait in hybrid seed production for monoclinous crops, including
rice and wheat. However, compared with the high percentage of hybrid rice planted in the …

Hybrid breeding in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has the potential to deliver major yield
increases. This is a requisite to guarantee food security for increasing population demands …

Developing high-yielding rice genotypes is decisive to ensure global food security with
current population growth and the threat of environmental pressures. Cytoplasmic male …

Chemical hybridization and genic male sterility systems are two main methods of hybrid
wheat production; however, complete sterility of female wheat plants cannot be guaranteed …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) plays a crucial role in the utilization of hybrid vigor. Pollen
development is often accompanied by oxidative metabolism responses and tapetal …

This study assessed the genetic distance (GD) between parental genotypes using single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) DNA markers and evaluated the correlation between GD …

Background Male sterility (MS) is an effective tool for hybrid production. Although MS has
been widely reported in other plants, such as Arabidopsis and rice, the molecular …

Cytoplasmic male sterility is crucial for the utilization of hybrid heterosis and it possibly
occurs in parallel with tapetal programmed cell death (PCD) and oxidative metabolism …
