Data obtained made it possible to specify the localization of the Rf1 gene and reduce the list of candidate genes to the 3 closely linked PPR-genes spanning a total of 59 Kb. However, it cannot be ruled out that analysis of the candidate region in the genome of fertility restorer lines can reveal new candidate genes in this locus that are absent in the cytoplasmic male sterility maintainer reference sequence.
