Precise genetic map** of Rf18(t), a new fertility restorer gene from ‘Nipponbare’ for wild abortive cytoplasmic male sterility in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
We mapped Rf18(t), a Restorer-of-fertility gene for wild abortive cytoplasmic male sterility from the japonica maintainer ‘Nipponbare’, to chromosome 1. The best candidate gene, LOC_Os01g71320, is predicted to en...

Fine map** and candidate gene analysis of ptgms2-1, the photoperiod-thermo-sensitive genic male sterile gene in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Photoperiod-thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (PTGMS) rice exhibits a number of desirable traits for hybrid rice production. The cloning genes responsible for PTGMS and those elucidating male sterility mecha...

Delimiting a rice wide-compatibility gene S 5 n to a 50 kb region
Wide-compatibility (WC) is one of the most important traits in rice, which can overcome the fertility barrier in the indica/japonica hybrids, and hence to make it possible to utilize the higher yield potential of...

Plant regeneration from cultured immature embryos of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
Immature embryos of 20 sorghum genotypes were cultured on MS 5 medium containing MS mineral salts supplemented with 2,4-D, zeatin, glycine, niacinamide, Ca-pantothenate, L-asparagine, and vitamins. For regener...
