Various aspects such as cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), genic male sterility (GMS) and cytoplasmic genic male sterility (CGMS), and their exploitation in hybrid breeding of vegetable crops is also discussed. This book provides the timeline of key breakthroughs made in the male sterility systems and their exploitation in vegetable crop improvement. The information compiled is of great relevance to current need of global food security. Precise genome editing through CRISPR/Cas9 and other advanced techniques has made it possible to engineer male sterility in vegetable crops. Due to the pressing issue of climate change, the diversification of cytoplasm is important and hence, the role of alien cytoplasm in developing novel male sterility systems in vegetable crops is also explored. This book is resourceful for the researchers, students, scientists, teachers and private players interested in hybrid vegetable seed industry. 606 $aAgricultural biotechnology 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aBotany 606 $aAgricultural Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Science 615 0$aAgricultural biotechnology. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aBotany. 615 14$aAgricultural Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Science. 676 $a630 676 $a664.024 702 $aSingh$b Saurabh$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDey$b Shyam Sundar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBhatia$b Reeta$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910999687303321 996 $aMale Sterility Systems in Vegetable Crop Improvement$94375914 997 $aUNINA
