Chromosome pairing and meiosis were studied in cross-fertile and cross-sterile sorghum lines and F~ hybrids between one cross-sterile and several fertile lines. The cross-fertile parents exhibited regular meiosis, but the cross-sterile ones and the hybrids had abnomalities indicative of non-homologi

โฆ Synopsis
Restriction endonuclease patterns of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) were consistently distinguishable between fertile and male-sterile cytoplasms of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], whereas no differences in restriction patterns of cpDNA among male-sterile (A1) lines, including six isocytoplasmic strains, were revealed in this study. It is suggested that chloroplast DNA may contribute to the male sterility of A1 lines used currently in hybrid sorghum production.

Mitochondrial DNA from four paired (fertile and male-sterile) lines and six isocytoplasmic strains of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) were fragmented by endonucleases and their electrophoretic patterns were examined. Cytoplasmic male sterile lines differed from their male-fertile counterparts
