Inheritance of a male sterile complex mutant in white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.)

Abstract

A perfectly monofactorially segregating male sterility mutant in jute, associated with a morphological marker (ribbon leaf, rl) was found to form a pleiotropic complex with several undesirable characters, which make it unsuitable for hybrid breeding, in spite of unimpaired viability. It is improbable that the unfavorable characters can be made harmless by selection for compensating genes.
