Abstract excerpt
The Ga2 locus controls unilateral cross incompatibility in Zea species. Molecular characterization of this locus indicates that fully functional loci contain 2 components that function in male and female reproductive tissues, Ga2P and Ga2F, respectively. Some Zea mays varieties have been reported to be capable of overcoming the Ga2 reproductive barrier, including the widely used inbred line Mo17. Our objective...
