Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) is a major plantation species in Japan, but its abundant pollen production is a primary cause of seasonal allergic rhinitis (pollinosis). To mitigate this public health issue, the use of male-sterile cultivars has been promoted. Five types of recessive male-sterile mutations (ms1-ms5) have been identified, and the causal genes and mutations for MS1 and MS4...
