ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes nuclear fertility restorer genes, proteins encoded by those genes and transgenic plants and plant cells containing those genes. More particularly, the nuclear fertility restorer genes can be used to restore fertility in cytoplasmic male-sterile plants such asBrassica napus. Preferably, the nuclear fertility restorer genes are used with the Ogura (ogu) CMS system inBrassica napus.
