title: A battle between genomes in plant male fertility.
abstract: Analyses of a new male sterility gene from a well-known rice cytoplasmic sterile line reveal inhibition of a nucleus-encoded protein and counteractions by nuclear fertility restorer factors. The existence of these genes in wild rice populations suggests that they may confer selective advantages.
