a
B-atp6 cDNAs of hybrid, Rf1a-T1, and Rf1b-T2 were generated from the trace of uncleaved or undegraded B-atp6/orf79 RNA molecules.
b
The maintainer lines (KFB) and CMS-BT (KFA) and the fertility-restored transgenic plants (Rf1a-T1 and Rf1b-T2) have the same nuclear background.
c
The hybrid (Hyb) plant carried Rf1a.
d
The statistical analysis was performed for the 17 sites in N-atp6 or B-atp6 of the lines (see Supplemental Table 2 for details) at the 5% level. The averages marked with the same letter are not significantly different.
