Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and restorer of fertility (Rf) are important traits in F1 hybrid breeding. However, the CMS/Rf system has not been used in tomatoes because of the limited resources of Rf lines. In this study, we performed mutagenesis in tomato CMS seeds and successfully obtained 13 suppressor mutants with pollen fertility. Using bulked segregant analysis and whole-genome sequencing for each...
