Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means capable of using male sterile lily as pollen parent and inducing so-called functional male sterile in which anther wall is formed, but anther is indehiscent and inducing efficiency of rearing of male sterile lily and stepwise form formation in stamen of male sterile lily. SOLUTION: The method for recovering fertility comprises culturing male sterile lily such as [Akita petit white which is a variety of lily] under high-temperature conditions. As a result, male sterile lily can be used as pollen parent and effective rearing of male sterile system can be performed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
