TN THE ideal case of cytoplasmic male sterility, transfer -*• of the genome of one species into the cytoplasm of another should result in 100% male sterility, while the same genome should be 100% fertile in its own cytoplasm. A dominant, non-deleterious gene should be available to restore 100% fertility when it is heterozygous in the genome introduced into the foreign cytoplasm. The ideal situation has not yet developed for cotton.
