Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a mitochondrial-encoded trait that confers reproductive defects in males but not in females or any vegetative function. Why CMS is so often found in plants should be investigated from the viewpoint of mitochondrial phylogeny. Beta vulgaris, including the wild subspecies maritima and cultivated subspecies vulgaris (e.g., sugar beet), is known to be mitochondrially polymorphic,...
