Zusammenfassung:	Compositions and methods are provided for screening wheat seed for sorting and selection. Compositions comprise polynucleotides and polypeptides, and fragments and variants thereof, which encode and express a screenable color marker in seeds. Expression cassettes comprise a plant-derived polynucleotide, or fragment or variant thereof, operably linked to a promoter, wherein expression of the polynucleotide modulates the color, opacity, fluorescence, or other property of the seed. The plant-derived marker can be used in a male-sterile production system of hybrid wheat seed. Methods for maintaining a line of male-sterile plants and for restoring male fertility in a male-sterile plant, comprising a screenable color marker are provided.
