GENETIC CONTROL OF FERTILITY RESTORATION IN CMS LINES OF FLAX (<i>LINUM USITATISSIMUM</i>) by E. A. Porokhovinova

“…Recessive alleles of the genes restoring fertility rft3-2, rft3-3, rft3-6, rft3-7, rft5-2, rft6, rft7 and dominant RFT4-3 determine tubular shape of sterile flowers, and are undesirable for breeding because the probability of cross pollination decreases. Other recessive (alternative) alleles of pollen fertility restoration genes rfo6, rfo6-2, rfo6-3, rfo7 do not affect the corolla’s shape.…”
