Plant breeding: Revealing the secrets of cytoplasmic male sterility in wheat

Curr Biol. 2021 Jun 7;31(11):R724-R726. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.04.026.ABSTRACTWhile cytoplasmic male sterility is used for breeding in many crops, it has proved difficult to implement in wheat. A new study identifying the key molecules and their mode of action in cytoplasmic male sterility provides new opportunities for wheat breeding.PMID:34102121 | DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2021.04.026
