Transgenic Plant Male Sterility

Summary Proof of concept for a repressor/restorer male sterility system to produce hybrid seed in Arabidopsis has been achieved. The system can also be used for pollen and seed containment. The Problem Hybrid Vigor is characterised by the production of larger plants, tolerance to stress, disease resistance, uniformity and improved yield with plants...
