Summary

A low frequency of pollen fertility restorers for cytoplasmic male sterility was found within a large number of sunflower inbred lines of varied genetic and geographic backgrounds. The only source of cultivated sunflowers carrying a single dominant gene for pollen fertility restoration was the inbred line MZ-1398, selected through eight generations of selfing from the local sunflower population Mezehedeshy. The restorer line MZ-1398 has good agronomic characteristics and a high combining ability.
