Abstract

The present invention is directed to the use of a Apelawa variety of quinoa in the production of cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants and seeds useful in breeding programs for high-yield quinoa hybrids. More particularly, the present invention is directed to the use of cytoplasmic male sterile plants of the Apelawa variety of quinoa to produce plants and seeds for lines of quinoa varieties having male sterile cytoplasm; to cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants; quinoa seeds for cytoplasmic male sterile plants; and methods of producing cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants and seeds to create a source of cytoplasmic male sterile quinoa plants. A quinoa seed having male sterile cytoplasm and assigned ATCC accession no. 75154 is specifically disclosed.
