| Abstract | New types of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in Brassica oleracea would be useful for F1 hybrid seed production. The `Anand' cytoplasm derives from the wild species B. tournefortii. Rapid cycling stocks of B. rapa and B. oleracea were used in cybridization experiments as donor and recipient of `Anand' (=`tour') CMS, respectively. Prior to fusion with PEG, donor protoplasts were inactivated with 30 krad γ-rays and recipient ones with 3 mM iodoacetate, respectively. No calli were obtained from the pre-treated protoplasts. The frequency of shoot regeneration was 21–43% in untreated B. oleracea controls, but only 0–0.5% in `Anand' B. rapa. Putative cybrids were regenerated from about 3% of the calli from fused protoplasts. Regenerated plants were analyzed for nuclear DNA content, plant and flower morphology, pollen production, female fertility, cold tolerance, and organelle composition. Eighty-one percent of the regenerated controls and 63% of fusion-derived plants were diploid. The rest showed DNA contents corresponding to 2x–4x, 4x, or higher ploidy levels, presumably due to somatic doubling in vitro and/or fusions in which the donor nucleus was not completely eliminated. Sixty-four percent of the cybrids had stamens and petals varying in size and shape and were male-sterile, with indehiscent anthers. Their phenotype was otherwise similar to that of B. oleracea. The remaining plants had normal flowers and were male-fertile. Data from crosses with fertile pollinators indicated good female fertility in some of the sterile lines, both after hand and insect pollinations in cages. Mitochondrial (mt) segregation in the cybrids was slightly biased towards `Anand' mitochondria, and the presence of `Anand' mtDNA fragments was strongly associated with male sterility. Evidence of mtDNA rearrangements was obtained in some cybrids. Segregation of chloroplasts was slightly biased towards B. oleracea. The presence of `Anand' chloroplasts with a B. oleracea nucleus did not result in cold temperature chlorosis, as seen in `Ogura' CMS plants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
