BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereal plants in the world. Wild-abortive (WA) and Honglian (HL) cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) have been used extensively in the production of hybrid seeds. Although a variable number of fertility-restorer genes (Rf) for WA and HL-CMS have been identified in various cultivars, information on Rf in Oryza species with the AA-genome is sparse....
