Abstract:

Male sterility has played a pivotal role in increasing agricultural crop production. Temporary male sterility is induced through floral sprays and is used for making crosses in recombination breeding program.  Heritable male sterility is induced through treatment with mutagenic agents, in general, and other chemicals that target cytoplasmic genome. And re-establishment of communication restores fertility. Common, chemical agents that target the mitochondrial genome are reported to induce cytoplasmic male sterility successfully. Genetic male sterility is a frequent happening comparatively. In this review, we present different approaches for induction of male sterility, including agents that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS).
