A new method for hybrid seed production based on cytoplasmic male sterility combined with a lethal gene and a female sterile pollenizer in Capsicum annuum L.
1988
A new improved method for hybrid seed production was successfully tested. This method is based on using a cytoplasmic male sterile line possessing a lethal gene with action that can be easily inhibited and a female sterile pollenizer. The lethal gene ensures 100% purity of the F1 crop. The female sterile pollenizer provides a permanent abundant flowering with excess of pollen grains that leads to increased hybrid seed production without additional labour expenses. The described scheme is applicable for other crops as well.
