Abstract

The present investigation was conducted during kharif season of 2012 and 2013 in Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, PAU, Ludhiana to study the stability and morphological characterization of 18 newly developed CMS lines in early background along with GT 288A (A2 cytoplasm) and ICPA 2089 (A4 cytoplasm) CMS lines. All the genotypes under study were found to be 100 per cent non pollen shedding i.e. completely male sterile at all dates during kharif season as well as during off-season. It indicated that expression of sterility of CMS lines was not affected by the environmental factors like temperature, relative humidity, sunshine hours and day length.....
