Abstract excerpt
T (Texas) cytoplasm is associated with a mitochondrial disruption that is phenotypically expressed during microsporogenesis resulting in male sterility. Restoration of pollen fertility in T-cytoplasm maize is controlled by dominant alleles at two unlinked, complementary, nuclear-encoded genes, rf1 and rf2. As a first step in the molecular isolation of the rf2 gene, 178,300 gametes derived from plants that carried...
