aCR-ms1035/Wo, CR-ms1035/gstaa, and their background materials as female parents were crossed with inbred lines 5N11 (in 2018) and 6N55 (in 2019), respectively
Successful fruit set and number of fruits with seeds versus total number of hand pollination are recorded. Values are means ± SE, which differ at the 0.05 significance level are labeled with different letters (ANOVA and Holm-Sidak test)
