Abstract

The Seed and Seedling Marker Method double-screening system for maize hybrid seed production integrates Ms45-mediated fertility restoration, Mn1/Sh1-RNAi-based seed selection, and Lc-based seedling selection. It thus enables efficient, high-purity propagation of male-sterile lines by combining fertility maintenance with sequential visual selection at the seed and seedling stages.
