Trait of a plant in which the action of the cytotoxic gene used to introduce male sterility is suppressed by the application of a chemical to the plant. Reversion of the sterility allows the RMS parent to be self-fertilized, a step that overcomes the need to remove fertile sib plants prior to making the hybrid cross.

A weed damage response (TO:0000347) trait which is the response of a plant to weed competition from sedge weeds.
plant_trait_ontology
TO:0000030
Sedges are perennial plants which resemble grasses, and commonly grow in shallow water or moist soils, such as rice production fields. Sedges may be distinguished from grasses by their stem cross-section (solid, triangular) and leaf shape (long, thin-textured, narrow and flat).
Common sedge weeds in rice fields include Smallflower Umbrella Sedge (Cyperus difformis), Ricefield Bulrush (Scirpus mucronatus), and River Bulrush (Scirpus fluviatilis).
