Identification of Rf9, a Gene Contributing to the Genetic Complexity of Fertility Restoration in Hybrid Wheat

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a self-pollinating crop whose hybrids offer the potential to provide a major boost in yield. Male sterility induced by the cytoplasm of Triticum timopheevii is a powerful method for hybrid seed production. Hybrids produced by this method are often partially sterile, a...
