Abstract
A sterile mutant was isolated from a hybrid grandiflora petunia cultivar and incorporated into a number of inbred lines.
The expression of sterility was characterized solely by the absence of pollen, all other traits remaining unchanged.
Following a series of backcrosses and self-pollinations, testcross ratios of fertile to sterile plants became stable and predictable.
The system controlling sterility proved to be monogenic and recessive.
