Apart from their agronomic importance in hybrid seed production, mutations that encode
cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) provide a means to probe the role of the mitochondrion in …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a maternally inherited condition in which a plant is
unable to produce functional pollen. It occurs in many plant species and is often associated …

Sequence-specific nucleases are commonly used to modify the nuclear genome of plants.
However, targeted modification of the mitochondrial genome of land plants has not yet been …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been extensively used for hybrid seed production in
many major crops. Honglian CMS (HL-CMS) is one of the three major types of CMS in rice …

Brassicaceae crops display strong hybrid vigor, and have long been subject to F 1 hybrid
breeding. Because the most reliable system of F 1 seed production is based on cytoplasmic …

In the last years, a number of nuclear genes restoring cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) have
been cloned in various crop species. The majority of these genes have been shown to …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a powerful tool for the exploitation of hybrid heterosis
and the study of signaling and interactions between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. C-type …

Cytoplasmic male sterility is a maternally inherited trait in higher plants that prevents the
production of functional pollen. Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility in radish (Raphanus …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants is known to be associated with novel open
reading frames (ORFs) that result from recombination events in the mitochondrial genome …

The control of messenger RNA (mRNA) translation has been increasingly recognized as a
key regulatory step for gene control, but clear examples in eukaryotes are still scarce …
