Title
Improving hybrid seed production in corn with glyphosate‐mediated male sterility
Paul C C Feng; Youlin Qi; Tommy Chiu; et al. Pest Management Science 2013. doi:10.1002/ps.3526
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Expression element experiments selectively reduced CP4-EPSPS expression in male reproductive tissues.
- Intervention effect After glyphosate application, the resulting corn plant had a sterile tassel.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate application caused little to no injury to the rest of the corn plant.
- Method / resource The Roundup hybridization system simplifies hybrid corn seed production by replacing mechanical detasseling with glyphosate spray.
