B-line in CGMS is used to:

B-line or maintainer line defined as fertile counterpart isogenic to A-line for nuclear genes but carrying normal fertile cytoplasm N and homozygous non-restorer alleles rfrf. Function maintains male sterile A-line because when A-line cytoplasm S mother crossed with pollen from B-line, offspring inherits S cytoplasm from maternal parent causing male sterility while nuclear genome remains rfrf identical to both parents. B-line itself self-fertile due to N cytoplasm compensating, producing sufficient seeds for propagation. Without B-line, A-line cannot be multiplied sexually because selfing yiel

In CGMS, A-line is:

In CGMS three-line scheme A-line designated as cytoplasmic male sterile female parent carrying sterile cytoplasm S derived from wild abortive source and non-restorer genotype rfrf in nuclear background, so phenotype fully male sterile with whitish anthers containing aborted pollen but female fertility normal. Because cytoplasm maternally inherited, progeny from any cross where A-line used as female inherits S cytoplasm and remains sterile unless restorer allele introduced from male parent. To multiply A-line, cross made with maintainer B-line sharing identical nuclear genome but normal fertile
