Key messageCytoplasmic male sterility in sugar beet becomes thermo-sensitive when combined with specific genotypes, potentially offering a means to environmentally control pollination by this trait.AbstractThe stability of cytoplasmic male sterility expression in several genetic backgrounds was investigated in sugar beet (Beta vulgarisL.). Nine genetically heterogenous plants from open-pollinated varieties were crossed with a cytoplasmic male sterile line to obtain 266 F1plants. Based on marker analysis using a multiallelic DNA marker linked torestorer-of-fertility 1(Rf1), we divided the F1plants into 15 genotypes. We evaluated the phenotypes of the F1plants under two environmental conditions: greenhouse rooms with or without daytime heating during the flowering season. Three phenotypic groups appeared: those consistently expressing male sterility, those consistently having restored pollen fertility, and those expressing male sterility in a thermo-sensitive manner. All plants in the consistently male sterile group inherited a specificRf1marker type named p4. We tested the potential for thermo-sensitive male sterile plants to serve as seed parents for hybrid seed production, and three genotypes were selected. Open pollination by a pollen parental line with a dominant trait of red-pigmented hypocotyls and leaf veins resulted in seed setting on thermo-sensitive male sterile plants, indicating that their female organs were functional. More than 99.9% of the progeny expressed the red pigmentation trait; hence, highly pure hybrids were obtained. We determined the nucleotide sequences ofRf1from the three genotypes: One had a novel allele and two had known alleles, of which one was reported to have been selected previously as a non-restoring allele at a single U.S. breeding station but not at other stations in the U.S., or in Europe or Japan, suggesting environmental sensitivity.
