Abstract excerpt
With an aim to further characterize the cytoplasmic male sterility-fertility restoration system in sorghum, a major fertility restoration gene was mapped along with a second locus capable of partial restoration of pollen fertility. The major fertility restoration gene, Rf(5), was located on sorghum chromosome SBI-05, and was capable of restoring pollen fertility in both A(1) and A(2) male sterile cytoplasms....
