Interspecific F1 hybrids were obtained from a cross between a male sterile Brassica napus (2n = 4x = 38, AA (20) and CC (18) genomes) and an inbreeding line B. rapa (Purple Cai-Tai inbred line 9418, 2n = 2x = 20, AA (20) genome) to introgress male sterility from a tetraploid into a diploid through backcrossing. The morphological characteristics of F1 plants were more like the female parent B. napus and segregated considerably in BC1 when backcrossed to the recurrent parent Purple Cai-Tai. The progeny became stable and more similar to Purple Cai-Tai by BC4. Most C genome chromosomes were found to be eliminated, based on cytogenetic analysis. The majority of chromosomes were eliminated at very early backcross stages, with only 20–26 chromosomes in BC1 plants, and some chromosomes were eliminated gradually with increased backcross generations. The BC4 plants were generally stable with exactly 20 chromosomes. Analysis by AFLP indicated that 49.5–68.7% of the total bands eliminated from F1 to BC4 were female parent specific, and ~12% of B. napus bands were retained with increased backcrossing. The genetic materials controlling sterility from the female parent B. napus were introgressed successfully into the BC4 plants even though most B. napus chromosomes/genetic materials were eliminated during the backcross process.

Field experiment was carried out and one cytoplasmic genetic male sterile line (Smsms) and two local lines were identified as maintainer lines (Fmsms). These two crossed materials namely 3(Shallot*Local) and 4 (Shallot *Local) produced 100 per cent male sterile progeny in full sib and backcross generations. The Shallot * market cultivar produced both male fertile and male sterile segregating progenies. It indicated that the market material is probably determined by dominant and recessive independently acting genes which genetically impure lines. All other crossed materials produced 100 per cent male fertile progeny upon crossing with shallot. So, in backcross generations, the male sterile plants were more when local was used as recurrent parent. Thus, the local cultivar can be used as maintainer line for “Shallot”. The performance of 904 F1 and 905 F1 hybrids over check and better parent was found to be preferably better using CMS system. So, considering the genetics and stability of the male sterility mechanism, further studies are needed towards hybrid variety development in Bangladesh.

1. A method of producing hybrid beans with the aid of a cytoplasmic male-sterile is described.2. Most of the requirements of large scale production of hybrid seed can be met: use of genetic markers showed that the male sterility allowed 100% cross fertilization; there was no evidence of a deficiency of insect pollinators near Cambridge; and fertility restoring lines are available.3. The importance of being able to maintain a high level of sterility in the female parent line is emphasized. Methods of improving the proportion of sterile plants in the sterile phase of an inbred are discussed. The tolerable level of fertility in progenies of sterile parents depends on the level of sterility necessary in the female parent of the final cross. Five inbreds are being handled with less than 2% of fertile plants in their sterile phase.

Male sterility was investigated in backcross populations from hybrids between Diplotaxis muralis and Brassica napus using the former as the female parent. The F1 was male sterile and low frequencies (less than 20%) of male sterile plants were obtained from subsequent backcross generations. The data did not fit any Mendelian genetic ratios. Cytological examination of pollen mother cells from 52 plants of these backcross populations indicated the presence of an extra chromosome in all 22 male sterile plants and the normal chromosome number (2n = 38) in the remaining 30 fertile plants. Thus an extra chromosome which is derived from Diplotaxis muralis appears to be the sole cause of male sterility in these backcross populations.Key words: male sterility, Brassica napus, Diplotaxis muralis.

The 37-chromosome F1 hybrids obtained from the cross between rutabaga (B. napus L. ssp. rapifera (Metzg.) Sinsk) and cabbage (B. oleracea L. ssp. capitata L.) were backcrossed four times using 2x-cabbages as the male recurrent parent. Female fertility improved rapidly in BC2 progenies whereas male sterility persisted in the B. oleracea type backcross progenies carrying the cytoplasm of B. napus. Male fertility was restored fully when the c genome was reintroduced to the cytoplasm of B. oleracea.Key words: Brassica oleracea, Brassica napus, cabbage, cytoplasmic male sterility

Abstract Background Photoperiod and/or thermo-sensitive male sterility is an effective pollination control system in crop two-line hybrid breeding. We previously discovered the spontaneous mutation of a partially male sterile plant and developed a thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) line 373S in Brassica napus L. The present study characterized this TGMS line through cytological observation, photoperiod/ temperature treatments, and genetic investigation. Results Microscopic observation revealed that the condensed cytoplasm and irregular exine of microspores and the abnormal degradation of tapetum are related to pollen abortion. Different temperature and photoperiod treatments in field and growth cabinet conditions indicated that the fertility alteration of 373S was mainly caused by temperature changes. The effects of photoperiod and interaction between temperature and photoperiod were insignificant. The critical temperature leading to fertility alteration ranged from 10 °C (15 °C/5 °C) to 12 °C (17 °C/7 °C), and the temperature-responding stage was coincident with anther development from pollen mother cell formation to meiosis stages. Genetic analysis indicated that the TGMS trait in 373S was controlled by one pair of genes, with male sterility as the recessive. Multiplex PCR analysis revealed that the cytoplasm of 373S is pol type. Conclusions Our study suggested that the 373S line in B. napus has a novel thermo-sensitive gene Bnmst1 in Pol CMS cytoplasm background, and its fertility alteration is mainly caused by temperature changes. Our results will broaden the TGMS resources and lay the foundation for two-line hybrid breeding in B. napus.

A type of male sterility found in two Desmodium plants of probably interspecific hybrid origin was cytoplasmically inherited. The cytoplasmic male-sterile character was incorporated in the tropical legume Desmodium sandwicense by backcrossing. In this genetic background pollen sterility was complete. The male-sterile character was not graft-transmissible, and it produced no detectable pleiotropic effects on growth and development. Desmodium intortum gave restoration of pollen fertility in Fl hybrids with male-sterile lines of D. sandwicense. Restored F1 hybrids produced apparently normal pollen, but tests of functional ability of the pollen disclosed that pollen fertility was less than that of Fl hybrids with normal cytoplasm. Incomplete restoration of fertility was not due to heterozygosity of fertility-restoring genes with gametophytic expression, since fertility-restoring genes were shown to act sporophytically. The results established the occurrence in the legume Desmodium of a system of determination of the male-sterile, fertility-restored phenotypes that is similar to the cytoplasmic male sterility systems described in many other angiosperm plants. A scheme utilizing the genetic stocks produced in this study for commercial production of the interspecific hybrid D. sandwicense x D. intortum as a cultivar is presented.

Two male-sterile lines of G. hirsutum containing G. anomalum or G. arboreum cytoplasm, their respective maintainer lines, and the M8 variety from which the male sterility stocks had been derived, were crossed reciprocally with each of three male fertility-restoring varieties. The F1 hybrids of the four male sterility stocks did not differ significantly in either lint yield or boll numbers. However, significant though small differences occurred in other traits including boll weight, lint percentage, seedling growth and some fibre properties. Pair-wise comparisons between sets of hybrids containing anomalum v. hirsutum, anomalum v. barbadense, arboreum v. hirsutum and arboreum v. barbadense cytoplasms showed that the diploid species cytoplasms did not significantly affect lint yield or the yield components of number of bolls and boll weight, while the other yield component, lint percentage, was only affected in one instance. Significant cytoplasmic differences in other attributes were rare. The recurrent G. hirsutum parent M8 outyielded its sterile derivatives both as a cultivar and as a hybrid parent. The yield decline of the male-sterile stocks was ascribed to nuclear (genomic) changes resulting from strong selection pressure for sterility during their development. It was concluded that, while the production of cotton hybrids from these male-sterile stocks is technically feasible, their practical utility is limited.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to obtain new broccoli lines with cytoplasmic male sterility trait for the development of the modern F1 hybrids. CDT70 cauliflower line obtained in the Research Institute of Horticulture, formerly Research Institute of Vegetable Crops, Skierniewice, Poland, with the reliable cytoplasmic male sterility from Raphanus sativus (Ogu-INRA) was selected as a source of this trait. Three broccoli lines: BMi, BCr1 and BCr2 were used as donors of commercial characters in all cross combinations with sterile components. Selected fertile broccoli genotypes were characterized by good quality, uniformity and high level of self-compatibility. The breeding procedure included three consecutive back crosses of male sterile genotypes with fertile broccoli lines that lasted from 2008 to 2012. In each generation, self-compatibility level, the stability of the male sterility trait and ability for the generative propagation of back-crossed genotypes were tested in comparison with donor broccoli lines in the greenhouse. The agronomical and morphological characters of the back-crossed progeny were also evaluated in the field. As a result, three CMS broccoli lines of Bc3 generation with good quality and high seeding index, suitable for the breeding purposes, were obtained.

Abstract:Sunflower is sensitive to drought and its hybrids have a limited cytoplasmic diversity. The wild cytoplasmic sources of sunflower are not well exploited to their potential for drought tolerance and hybrid development. In this respect, we carried out a Line × Tester based genetic study using 19 sunflower genotypes representing, 13 cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines from wild and conventional sources, 2 maintainer lines, and 4 restorer lines. The CMS and maintainer lines were crossed with restorer lines to develop sixty one-way F1 hybrids. The parents and their hybrids were evaluated under two water regimes viz., normal irrigated and water stress. A total of twelve important plant descriptors were studied over a period of two years. The significant differences were observed between parents and hybrids in both water regimes. Hybrids were higher in average values for all the descriptors than parents. The role of female parent was more prominent in the expression of traits in hybrids as compared to male parents. The CMS sources varied significantly regarding seed yield per plant and other physiological traits. Proline content was three times higher in parents and their hybrids under water stress, and it was not correlated with any other descriptor. Accession CMS-PKU-2A was identified as the best general combiner for leaf area and specific leaf weight. Whereas, CMS-234A was the best general combiner for biological yield and photosynthetic efficiency under both the conditions. The cross combinations CMS-ARG-2A × RCR-8297, CMS-234A × P124R, and CMS-38A × P124R were found significant for biological yield, seed yield and oil content under both environments. Overall, this study provides useful information about the cytoplasmic effects on important sunflower traits and drought stress tolerance when used in the different combinations.
