Abstract:
The production of rapeseed mustard has undergone extraordinary change since last two decades. The requirement for oils and fats will be higher in view of ever increasing population in future. The practical option only left is the vertical increase in yields. Hybrid technology has shown to be a promising in this regard. A number of diverse CMS systems were developed. Evaluation of available CMS sources for flowering and seed yield traits for development of seed production technology of the hybrids and for the researchers to exploit the heterosis would be essential. In this study, development of different kinds of male sterility in different Brassica species will be reviewed.
