Abstract: CMS in rapeseed is of tremendous importance in its commercial applicat ion in hybrid seed production. It is a great significance on studying the mechanism of cytoplasmic male sterility(CMS) for the effective use of heterosis and creat ing superior combination. This paper introduced the current major types of CMS in Brassica napus L. such as CMS, Pol CMS, Nap CMS and so on. We also reviewed the progresses of infertility-related sites or fragments of CMS in the mitochondrial genome, and the main points of the sterile mechanism were discussed.

Key words: Brassica napus L. , Cytoplasmic male sterility, Mitochondrion DNA, Sterile mechanism
