Mitochondrial DNA from 1 fertile and 6 cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) sunflower genotypes was studied. The CMS genotypes had been obtained either by specific crosses between different Helianthus species or by mutagenesis. CMS-associated restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were found in the vicinity of the atpA locus, generated by various restriction enzymes. The organization of the mitochondrial genes 26S rRNA, 18S + 5S rRNA and coxII was investigated by Southern blot analysis. These genes have similar structures in fertile and all studied sterile sources. Using the atpA probe, 5 from the 6 investigated CMS genotypes showed identical hybridization patterns to the Petiolaris CMS line, which is used in all commercial sunflower hybrids. Only 1 cytoplasm derived from an open pollination of Helianthus annuus ssp. texanus, known as ANT1, contained a unique mitochondrial DNA fragment, which is distinguishable from the fertile and sterile Petiolaris genotypes and from all investigated CMS genotypes. Male fertility restoration and male sterility maintenance of the ANT1 line are different from the Petiolaris CMS system, which is a confirmation that a novel CMS genotype in sunflower has been identified.
