A method for obtaining 100 male sterile plants to serve as the female parent in hybrid seeds production

摘要

The invention relates to a method for obtaining seeds that yield 100 % male sterile plants to be used as the A-line for hybrid seeds production, comprising; a) selecting male sterile plants; b) inducing transient male fertility restoration (T-MFR) in said plants; c) self-pollination or crossing among plants that undergo T-MFR in step b and produced pollen, or cross-pollination between pollen produced in step b and any suitable male sterile plants; d) collecting the seeds of the fruits developed by the pollination of step c, said seeds will yield 100 % male sterile plants.
