The sporophytic type of fertility restoration in the A3 CMS-inducing cytoplasm of sorghum and its modification by plant water availability conditions by L. A. Elkonin, V. V. Kozhemyakin, M. I. Tsvetova

“…It is assumed that the expression of the fertility-restoring genes Rf3 and Rf4 in the hybrids with studied CMS lines starts already in the sporophyte tissues, normalizing the development of a certain part of the PGs carrying the recessive alleles of these genes (rf3 and rf4), which are involved in fertilization and give rise to sterile genotypes found in F2 and BC1 families. For the first time, the transgenerational effect of water availability conditions of growing a fertility-restoring line on male fertility of the F2 generation was detected: a pollinator grown in a plot with additional irrigation produced more fertile and less sterile individuals compared to the same pollinator grown under a rainfall shelter (p < 0.01), and the segregation pattern changed from digenic to monogenic, indicating heritable inhibition of the expression of one of the fertility-restoring genes (kind of “grandfather effect”). …”
