Abstract:

The ATP contents in anthers of male-sterile lines and maintainerlines of maize and sorghum were determined by means of luminous photo-meter,and the relationship between the male sterile lines and maintainerlines were compared.The results are as follows:(1)The ATP cont-ents in anthers of the maintainer lines are higher.than those of themale-sterile lines.Particularly in sorghum,the ATP content of themaintainer line is seven times higher than that of the male-sterile line.(2)Pollens with a higher content of A...
