Abstract

Cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) plants have normal appearance, but are characterized by the failure to shed viable pollen. However, the morphological and cytological expression of the sterile phenotype varies from species to species, and ranges from degenerated anthers to inviable pollen (Hanson and Conde 1985). The trait is maternally inherited, and the accumulated evidence shows that the cms genetic determinants are mitochondrial rather than chloroplast.
