Abstract
This invention relates to a gene associated with male fertility, labeled Ms41-A, and a recessive mutant form thereof, labelled ms41-A, which confers male sterility. The Ms41-A gene is isolated from Arabidopsis, while the related gene Zm41-A is isolated from maize. Male-sterile plants are useful for the production of hybrid plants by sexual hybridization.
