Abstract: A cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system in different Brassica species having a distinct mitochondrial DNA specific RFLP signature. A method for obtaining male sterile lines and restoration of fertility in B. juncea for hybrid seed production using the CMS. This CMS in B. juncea can be restored by crossing male sterile plants with any B. juncea genotype other than the maintainer genotype. The same B. juncea genotype acts as maintainer of male sterility after a specified number of backcrosses. The CMS also relates to histological characterization of another and microspore development in B. juncea.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a pure line plant which is required in constructing a seed propagation variety of orchid. An auxin solution is dropped to unfertilized orchid flowers so as to form seeds based on parthenogenesis. Then these seeds are germinated and haploid plants are selected from orchid plants thus grown. The germinating seeds judges as haploid plants are grown to give pure line plants having doubled chromosomes. Thus, a seed propagation variety of orchid is obtained.
