Transfer of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility into Rice Diversifying the existing cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) sources of rice is indispensable for a sustainable production system of hybrid seed. Ahmadikhah et al. report that maintainer line Yosen B was converted to a CMS line (Yosen A) in three generations by markerassisted backcrossing. The recurrent parent genome content of the final CMS line w...

While early FACTS devices consisted mainly of thyristor-controlled/switched RLC/transformer components, the newer generation is based on the self-commutated voltage-source power converter. Different shunt FACTS devices, namely Static VAR compensator (SVC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in transmission line using the actual line model. This paper des...

In common bean, cytoplasmic male sterility has been associated with a unique sequence found in the mitochondrial genome, designated pvs (for Phaseolus vulgaris sterility sequence). Within the pvs sequence, two open reading frames are encoded, ORF98 and ORF239. We have raised rabbit polyclonal antibodies against Pvs-ORF239 to evaluate the role of this putative male sterility-associated protein. ...

Class B gene APETALA3 (AP3) plays a key role in the development of petals and stamens. Here, we investigated the expression pattern of PAP3 gene (genbank accession number: HM104635) in the buds of cytoplasmic male sterility line 121A and its near-isogenic restorer line 121C at four developmental stages and analyzed the possible association between Class B genes and cytoplasmic male sterility of...

Background: In plant breeding program to produce hybrid varieties, pair of male sterile and restorer fertility lines are required. Differentiation of lines possessing restorer fertility allele from the lines lacking it remove the need for the progeny test, and thus reducing the time and the cost in the hybrid production procedure. Canola breeding program in Iran has concentrate...

BACKGROUND The use of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in F1 hybrid seed production of chili pepper is increasingly popular. However, the molecular mechanisms of cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration remain poorly understood due to limited transcriptomic and genomic data. Therefore, we analyzed the difference between a CMS line 121A and its near-isogenic restorer line 121C in tra...

In this paper a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is used for power quality improvement on transmission side for the voltage regulation, grid stabilization and efficient utilization. The DVR normally installed between the source voltage and critical or sensitive load. The vital role of DVR depends on the efficiency of the control technique involved in switching circuit of the inverter. The DVR is ...

The dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is one of the modern devices used in transmission systems to protect power flow against sudden changes in voltage amplitude. The proposed algorithm is applied to some disturbances in load voltage caused by induction motors starting, and a three-phase short circuit fault. Also, the capability of the proposed DVR has been tested to limit the downstream fault cur...
