Abstract excerpt
The combination of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in one parent and a restorer gene ( Rf) to restore fertility in another are indispensable for the development of hybrid varieties. We have found a rice Rf-1 gene that restores BT-type CMS by applying a positional cloning strategy. Using linkage...
