Molecular mapping of the fertility restoration locus Rf1 in sunflower and development of diagnostic markers for the restorer gene
2005-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Fertility restoration by dominant nuclear genes is essential for hybrid breeding based on cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) to obtain heterotic effects and high seed yields. In sunflower, only the PET1 sterility inducing cytoplasm has been used in commercial hybrid breeding until now. This particular male sterility was derived from an interspecific hybrid Helianthus petiolaris × H. annuus. For the recent work we us...
