NON-RECIPROCAL CROSS-STERILITY IN MAIZE

The analysis of a case of cross-sterility in maize.

An Interchange in Maize Giving Low Sterility and Chain Configurations.

be influenced by several genetic factors.6 'The higher rate in the males might be accounted for by the assumption that the male sex stimulates the instability. Experiments are now in progress which are expected to throw more light on this problem. Summary.-Miniature-3 gamma gene is unstable in somatic cells. The results of experiments in which the flies carrying this gene were reared at 30 = 0....

Development of a novel recessive genetic male sterility system for hybrid seed production in maize and other cross‐pollinating crops

We have developed a novel hybridization platform that utilizes nuclear male sterility to produce hybrids in maize and other cross-pollinating crops. A key component of this platform is a process termed Seed Production Technology (SPT). This process incorporates a transgenic SPT maintainer line capable of propagating nontransgenic nuclear male-sterile lines for use as female parents in hybrid pr...
