Abstract

Functional male sterility was recorded in a plant of Solanum insanum L., a weedy relative of eggplant, S. melongena L. The plant showed regular bivalent formation during microsporogenesis, high pollen viability, and normal fruit and seed set on artificial self-pollination. But the anthers were indehiscent and the pollen grains degenerated within the anther locules.
