Abstract: | Summary Twenty naturally occurring male-sterile plants were recovered from a normal population of the grain amaranth, variety Jumla. The identification of the male-sterile plants is possible during anthesis and after flowering. The male-sterility in this variety is conditioned by a single recessive nuclear gene ms.This research was supported by Grant No. AMA-KE-4-83-22 (CRG GRANT) from the National Academy of Science, USA.
