Intact and functional mitochondria were isolated from sugar beet plants (Beta vulgaris L.) containing normal fertile (F) or cytoplasmic male-sterile (S1-S4) cytoplasms. Incorporation of (35)S-methionine by mitochondria isolated from both roots and leaves showed approximately 20 major and ten minor t

β¦ Synopsis
Attempts have been made to find a method to control the male sterility-male fertility balance in beets. It proved not possible to induce male sterility in O-types by means of grafting. Nor was transmission by infection with aphids or by rubbing with juice successful.
In some cases exposure of germinated seed of plasmatic male sterile annual beet material to temperatures of up to 55Β°C resulted in the occurrence of male fertile plants. The accompanying change could not be uniformly explained from the propagation obtained. It is possible that S-plasm has changed into N-plasm. Further investigations are in progress.

Soluble and membrane-bound fractions of plant leaves, cell suspension cultures and seedlings of petunia were examined for phosphohydrolase activity on p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPPase) and adenosine triphosphate (ATPase). One cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) and one fertile (F) line was examined for e
was controlled by two independently segregating dominant genes. The two genes appeared to have additive effects; one of them being stronger than the other in imparting fertility restoration. Data on spikelet fertility of the plants in F2 and testcross populations of V 20 A/UPR 82-1-1 cross showed th
