Abstract excerpt
The genetics of male fertility restoration and the RFLP of mitochondrial DNA were studied for 16 sunflower cytoplasms (15 male-sterile and a male-fertile). Male fertility restoration/male sterility maintenance patterns distinguished 12 cytotypes. Four cytoplasms were completely unrestored so they were not distinguished genetically. The sunflower lines, tested for their restorer/maintenance reaction, showed that...
