Functional male sterility in eggplant: inheritance and linkage to the purple fruit color gene
1991
Phatak, S.C. | Liu, J. | Jaworski, C.A. | Sultanbawa, A.F.
The functional male sterile (fms) eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) germplasm UGA 1-MS was crossed with two cultivars with normal anthers to derive F1, F2, and BC populations. Functional male sterility was governed by a single recessive allele. The gene symbol fms is proposed for this male sterile characteristic. The functional male sterility (fms) gene was linked to purple fruit color at the X/x locus. There was no linkage between functional male sterility and fruit shape.
