RFLP mapping of the maize gametophytic restorer-of-fertility locus (rf3) and aberrant pollen transmission of the nonrestoring rf3 allele

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is the maternally inherited inability to produce functional pollen. The Rf3 allele of the nuclear gene rf3 gametophytically restores male fertility to maize plants with the S-type of CMS. The rf3 locus is on the long arm of maize chromosome two (2L). Using 2L RFLPs a...
