“…The application of CMS provides an alternative to using self-incompatible lines during crop breeding (Wang et al, 2012 ). Currently, CMS is widely used for hybrid breeding and seed production of important vegetable crops, including onion (Havey, 2000 ), cabbage (Fang et al, 2001 , 2004 ), radish (Lee et al, 2008 ), and cauliflower (Dey et al, 2011 ; Kaminski et al, 2012 ; Bhatia et al, 2015 ). Similarly, CMS lines play a crucial role in broccoli breeding and hybrid production (Mao et al, 2012 ; Shu et al, 2014 ; Jing et al, 2015 ).…”
