Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic male sterility arises when mitochondrial activities are disrupted that are essential for pollen development. Rearrangements in the mitochondrial genome that create novel open reading frames are strongly correlated with CMS phenotypes in a number of systems. The morphological aberratio...
