Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: By genetically eliminating the major restorer - of - fertility gene ( Rf ), a weak Rf gene was unveiled. It is an allele of Z , long known as an elusive Rf gene in sugar beet. In the hybrid breeding of sugar beet, maintainer-genotype selection is a laborious process because of the dependence on test crossing, despite the very low occurrence of this genotype. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) of the...
