Male Sterile Cytoplasm

Mitochondria isolated from Texas male-sterile cytoplasm (T) corn roots and mitochondria within T protoplasts showed similar ultrastructural changes after treatment with Helminthosporium (Bipolaris) maydis race T (HmT) toxin. These changes included loss of matrix density, disruption of cristae, and swelling. Damage was observed in isolated T mitochondria after 1-min treatments and in mitochondria within T protoplasts after 5-min treatments. At low toxin concentrations or short treatment times, some mitochondria in isolated preparations and in individual protoplasts were altered whereas others were not. With increases in treatment time or toxin concentrations, all mitochondria were damaged. N cytoplasm mitochondria were unaffected by much higher toxin concentrations and longer treatment times. No ultrastructural effects of HmT toxin on other cytoplasmic components were observed, indicating that mitochondria are structurally affected before other cellular sites. The results support the hypothesis that mitochondria are the primary site of HmT toxin damage in living cells.

Cytoplasmic Sterility

The effect of four isogenic cytoplasmic types, normal, Salvador, Texas, and Charrua (the latter three causing male sterility), on the process of chiasma formation has been studied using two different maize hybrids. The cytoplasmic male sterility determinants have been shown to reduce the rate of interstitial exchanges per nucleus and per bivalent and the frequency of univalents. Increased variation between plants and relative stability of the intercellular variation within a plant have been observed for the parameters studied. It is concluded that the determinants of cytoplasmic sterility lower the probability of additional exchanges (relative to the obligate one) and reduce the frequency of premature disruption of one-exchange chromosome associations.Key words: maize, chiasma frequency, male sterile cytoplasm, univalent formation, genotype × cytoplasm interaction.

Hybrid Development

Among the different mechanism of male sterility operated in the Brassica group crop. Cytoplasmic male sterility mechanism is most suitable for hybrid development in cauliflower because here the curd (intermediate stage) is an edible part of the cauliflower. Further, there is no requirement of restorer line in this case as required in other seed crop. For the multiplication and maintenance of the different lines (A line and B line), sib mating and selfing is not always desirable. In fact, in such situation doubled haploid production through microspore culture is a more appropriate mechanism. Apart from this, the undesirable effect of integration of male sterile cytoplasm can be mitigated by adopting the repeated back crossing, through chloroplast substitution or somatic hybridization mechanism.
