Negative results were obtained in experiments designed to detect graft transmission to progeny of cytoplasmic male sterility in tobacco, contrary to positive results reported by Frankel in petunia. Attempts to show graft transmission of male fertility also failed. Evidently transmission of cytoplasmic male sterility through a graft union with a fertile individual is not an easily repeatable or else is not a general phenomenon in plants.
在设计用于检测烟草细胞质雄性不育向后代传递的实验中得到了阴性结果，与 Frankel 在矮牵牛中报告的阳性结果相反。试图显示雄性可育性的嫁接传递也失败了。显然，通过与可育个体的嫁接连接传递细胞质雄性不育不是一个容易重复的现象，或者在植物中不是一个普遍现象。
