Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes of maize CMS-S subtypes provides new insights into male sterility stability

Abstract Background Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a trait of economic importance in the production of hybrid seeds. In CMS-S maize, exerted anthers appear frequently in florets of field-grown female populations where only complete male-sterile plants were expected. It has been reported that th...
