Summary

A study of 76 F1 hybrids involving four sources of cytoplasmic male sterility and 19 male-fertility restorers indicated great diversity among the cytoplasms for total soluble solids. The exploitation of cytoplasms other than milo is recommended for breeding programmes aimed at high total soluble solids content. Most of the Indian restorers showed significant positive general combining ability (GCA) effects, whereas exotic restorers showed negative GCA effects for total soluble solids content.
