Unlocking male sterility in horticultural crops through gene editing technology for precision breeding applications: presentation of a case study in tomato

Plant male sterility (MS) refers to the failure of the production of functional anthers, viable pollen grains and/or fertile sperm cells. This feature has great potential in horticultural crops for the exploitation of heterosis through the development of F1 hybrid varieties. MS in plants can occur s...
