Abstract excerpt
Hybrid corn seed is traditionally produced using either mechanical/hand detasseling or cytoplasmic male sterility, or a combination of both. In recent years, the development of transgenic systems to produce hybrid seed in several crops has attracted much attention. Here we describe a transgenic mechanism for production of hybrid corn, reversible male sterility (RMS), in which the action of the cytotoxic gene used...
