Male sterility (CMS) — Spanish lavender

Lavandula stoechas L.

Male sterility in Spanish lavender manifests as the episodic occurrence of plants with functionally female flowers and sterile anthers in seed progenies, while pistil fertility is maintained.

In the reference 17 varieties crop French lavender, where this is mentioned in the description.

In populations of Lavandula stoechas, individuals with signs of male sterility are rare, most often recorded in progenies obtained through artificial selection. This trait is characterized by the presence of sterile anthers, which allows such plants to be classified as functionally female.

At present, there are no standardized quantitative methods for evaluating sterility for this crop. The breeding potential of the trait is considered in the context of producing interline hybrids to express heterosis, which would eliminate the labor costs of manual emasculation when creating hybrid seeds.

General information about the subject — on the page Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CMS).
