Research abstract
KEY ADVANCES IN SEED PHYSIOLOGY, POPULATION IMPROVEMENT, ANDTHE DISCOVERY OF CYTOPLASMIC-GENETIC MALE STERILITY (CGMS) IN WILD RICE (ZIZANIA PALUSTRIS L. (DORE)) COMBINE TO MAKE PRODUCTION OF HYBRID VARIETIES FEASIBLE. ALL COMPONENTS OF A CGMS SYSTEM HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FROM CULTIVATED WILD RICE VARIETIES.
