"Flowering is an indispensable phenomenon of natural reproduction. To enter in\r\nthe reproductive phase, most plant species get critical signals from different\r\nenvironmental factors which facilitate the conversion of their vegetative buds into\r\nreproductive tissues. The major factors that influence the appearance of flowers are\r\nmoisture stress, temperature, photoperiod and irradiation. According to Bernier et al.\r\n(1993) these factors are perceived by different plant parts. For example, leaves are\r\naffected by photoperiod and irradiation; while temperature is perceived by all plant\r\nparts. Similarly, vernalization affects shoot apex and moisture availability is perceived\r\nby roots. These external determinants do not act independently and their interaction\r\nis inevitable and a particular factor may alter or substitute the direct effect of the other\r\nfactors; and this may change the threshold level of individual factor in inducing\r\nflowering. Since at a given point of time,these environmental factors may act on\r\ndifferent parts of the plant in their own way, the interaction among their gene products\r\n(proteins) may decide the transition of the vegetative buds into reproductive buds.\r\nOnce flowering is induced in the plants, the further development of reproductive\r\nparts leads to differentiation into male/female gametes which participate in the\r\nnatural reproduction. In this processes also, certain environmental factors play an\r\nactive role and any departure from the normal process of microsporogenesis/\r\nmegasporogenesis leads to disorders such as male or female sterility.In this chapter\r\nthe authors have not attempted a thorough review of male sterility systems of food\r\ncops but restricted to environment-sensitive male sterility with brief description of\r\ntheir origin, possible variants, maintenance and utilization in two-parent hybrid\r\nbreeding..."^^ .
