Alloplasmic wheat, Triticum aestivum cv. Norin 26, with Aegilops crassa cytoplasm, shows photoperiod-sensitive cytoplasmic male sterility (PCMS). This alloplasmic line expresses pistillody of anthers only when grown in long-day conditions (>15 h light). To assess the molecular basis of the PCMS, we carried out Southern and Northern hybridization analyses on mitochondrial DNAs and RNAs isolated from seedlings of alloplasmic lines showing various PCMS phenotypes using probes for twelve… CONTINUE READING
