Genes for cytoplasmic male sterility in plants are generally located in
-
- cytosol
- chloroplast genome
- mitochondrial genome
- nuclear genome
Correct Option: A
Male sterility in plants can be controlled by nuclear genes or cytoplasm or by both. Three different mechanisms for control of male sterility in plants are:
(i) Genetic male sterility;
(ii) Cytoplasmic male sterility;
(iii) Cytoplasmic genetic male sterility.
In Maize the genes for cytoplasmic control of male sterility are located in cytoplasm.
