摘要

Male-sterile (MS) plants are incapable of generating anthers, pollen, or male gametes. Due to the fact that MS lines are crucial for the generation of F1 hybrids, their production is one of the greatest challenges in carrot breeding. The Apiaceae family is distinguished by its inflorescence. Flowers cluster into intricate umbels toward the plant’s end. Carrot blossoms are wide and flat and have zygomorphic petals. During vegetative development, the store root is considered a vegetable by the majority of carrot growers and consumers. The reproductive stage is critical to genetic research, breeding, and seed production. Understanding reproductive processes, including blooming time, flower development, pollen fertility, male sterility, and seed set, is critical. Carrot floral growth, reproductive biology, and male sterility are discussed, with a focus on recent genetic discoveries.
