小麦光温敏雄性不育系是二系法杂交小麦应用技术体系的核心与基础,其育性严格受光周期和温度控制.了解光温敏雄性不育机理将促进二系法杂交小麦育种技术的应用和发展,而筛选控制不育的关键基因是揭示光温敏雄性不育分子机理的前提.由于小麦基因组信息有限,根据小麦与水稻有较高同源性,尝试利用水稻基因组芯片筛选小麦光温敏雄性不育系BS366冷胁迫响应基因.得到9个差异表达基因,这些基因参与基因表达调控、胁迫应答、信号转导、代谢等重要生命过程,为解析小麦光温敏雄性不育机理提供了有益信息.利用雄蕊cDNA半定量PCR法验证表明,NADH（nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate）脱氢酶亚基4L、锌指富含DHHC（deaf/hard of hearing connection）结构、线粒体物质运输蛋白、外被体蛋白COPⅠδ（coat proteinⅠδ）亚基和ABC（ATP-binding cassette）转运蛋白5个基因,在低温和对照温度下表达存在明显差异,可作为育性相关候选基因开展下一步研究.     

K型温敏雄性不育系KTP116A育性转换规律的研究

基于两系杂交小麦系统的K型（Aegilops kotshyi）细胞质小麦温敏雄性不育系,在中国北方小麦正常生长季节表现完全雄性不育,可用于杂交小麦种子生产,在反季节播种表现育性部分恢复,是一类非常有利用价值的小麦温敏雄性不育系。本研究以小麦温敏雄性不育系KTP116A为材料,采用人工气候箱控温和涂抹法压片的方法对其育性转换的关键时期及败育的花粉发育过程进行更为精细的研究。研究发现,KTP116A可育环境下能正常进行减数分裂并发育为成熟花粉粒;不育环境下只有少数能经过第二次有丝分裂产生两个精细胞,大部分为二核期花粉粒、异常花粉粒和没有原生质体的空壳花药不开裂,自然条件下不散粉;KTP116A育性敏感期为两个时期,减数分裂期至单核早期和二核晚期至三核期,在自然条件下温度感应历期为10d左右;从小麦外部发育进程来看,抽穗前的2-8d和扬花前的3-5d为其敏感时期。这对于进一步研究败育的机理,分析败育的原因和更好的利用温敏不育系奠定基础。

大白菜细胞质雄性不育的分子生物学研究

细胞质雄性不育(cytoplasmic male sterility,CMS)是作物杂种优势利用的一 条重要途径。对其机制的研究不仅具有重要的理论意义,而且具有重要的应用价值。对大白菜而言,利用CMS最关键的环节是要育成不育系和其相应的保持系。利用不育系和其它材料杂交产生F1代种子;用不育系和保持系杂交来繁殖不育系;保持系自交繁殖种子。但采用常规的方法来选 育不育系和其相应的保持系周期长、见效慢,远不能满足生产发展的需要。现代生物技术为创造新的不育系和保持系提供了便利。本论文对大白菜细胞质雄性不育的分子机理和 RAPD分析的有关问题进行了研究。     

从水稻同源三倍体中鉴定出无融合生殖种质TAR

水稻杂种优势的成功应用使水稻单产提高了20%,这主要得益于70年代初细胞质雄性不育系的发现和利用。但传统的三系法杂交水稻必须做到不育系、保持系、恢复系“三系”配套,选育程序和杂交种子生产环节较复杂,以致培育目标组合的周期长、效率低、推广环节多,同时种子成本高、价格贵[1]。80年代光敏核不育水稻以其“一系两用、配组自由”等优越性大有取代三系杂交水稻的趋势。但是,光敏核不育特性同时又受温度的调控,加之育性波动等缺陷使两系杂交水稻的研究和利用受到严重制约[2]。80年代后期,科技工作者开始探索利用无融合生殖固定水稻杂种优…     

Comparative proteomics analysis reveals the mechanism of fertility alternation of thermosensitive genic male sterile rice lines under low temperature inducement

Thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) rice line has made great economical contributions in rice production. However, the fertility of TGMS rice line during hybrid seed production is frequently influenced by low temperature, thus leading to its fertility/sterility alteration and hybrid seed production failure. To understand the mechanism of fertility alternation under low temperature inducement, the extracted proteins from young panicles of two TGMS rice lines at the fertility alternation sensitivity stage were analyzed by 2DE. Eighty‐three protein spots were found to be significantly changed in abundance, and identified by MALDI‐TOF‐TOF MS. The identified proteins were involved in 16 metabolic pathways and cellular processes. The young panicles of TGMS rice line Zhu 1S possessed the lower ROS‐scavenging, indole‐3‐acetic acid level, soluble protein, and sugar contents as well as the faster anther wall disintegration than those of TGMS rice line Zhun S. All these major differences might result in that the former is more stable in fertility than the latter. Based on the majority of the 83 identified proteins, together with microstructural, physiological, and biochemical results, a possible fertile alteration mechanism in the young panicles of TGMS rice line under low temperature inducement was proposed. Such a result will help us in breeding TGMS rice lines and production of hybrid seed.     

Identification and fine mapping of rtms1-D,a gene responsible for reverse thermosensitive genic male sterility from Diannong S-1X

Thermosensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) has been widely used in two-line hybrid rice breeding. Due to hybrid seed production being highly affected by changeable environments, its application scope is limited to some extent. Thus, it is of great importance to identify potential TGMS genes in specific rice varieties. Here, Diannong S-1 xuan (DNS-1X), a reverse TGMS (RTGMS) japonica male sterile line, was identified from Diannong S-1. Genetic analysis showed that male sterility was tightly controlled by a single recessive gene, which was supported by the phenotype of the F₁ and F_2:3 populations derived from the cross between DNS-1X and Yunjing 26 (YJ26). Combining simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and bulked segregation analysis (BSA), we identified a 215 kb region on chromosome 10 as a candidate reverse TGMS region, which was designated as rtms1-D. It was narrower than the previously reported RTGMS genes rtms1 and tms6(t). The fertility conversion detected in the natural environment showed that DNS-1X was sterile below 28–30 °C; otherwise, it was fertile. Histological analysis further indicated that the pollen abortion was occurred in the young microspore stage. This study will provide new resources for two-line hybrid rice and pave the way for molecular breeding of RTGMS lines.     

Effect of Growth Regulators and Chemicals on Pollen Sterility in TGMS Lines of Rice

Thermosensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) in rice is a widely adopted technique for successful hybrid rice production in Asia. TGMS lines remain male sterile when daily mean temperature is above the critical sterility temperature and are therefore used as female parents. The same line will remain fertile when mean temperature is below the critical sterility temperature. Achievement of 100% male sterility in TGMS lines is important for the successful utilization of TGMS lines as female parents in hybrid rice production. This study examined the external application of some growth regulators and chemicals and their effect on pollen sterility. Among the various treatments, ethrel (800 ppm), salicylic acid (600 ppm) and maleic hydrazide (0.2%) induced a significantly higher percentage of male sterility in the TGMS lines. The sprayed plants also showed higher total phenol accumulation in their flag leaves. The results suggest that it is possible to achieve 100% male sterility in TGMS lines with the external application of growth regulators and chemicals.     

温度对双低两用核不育水稻96-5-2S与培矮64S育性的影响

在自然变温、人工控温及冷水灌溉条件下,比较研究了温度对双低两用核不育水稻96－5－2S与两用核不育水稻培矮64S育性影响的差异。结果表明：（1）当它们在雄性育性转换温敏感期1－12d平均自然日均温23.0-23.8℃的低温时,96－5－2S表现不良,套袋自交结实率为0,而培矮46S可育,套袋自交结实率为0．1％－4．5％;（2）在它们雄性育性转换温敏感期用22℃恒温处理5d,96－5－2S败育彻底,套袋自交结实率为0,而培矮64S可育,套袋自交结实率为10．7％;用17℃恒温处理6d,96－5－2S与培矮64S均可育,但96－5－2S套袋自交结实率（6．8％）显著高于培矮64S（2．5％）;（3）在它们雄性育性转换温和不同温度的冷水串灌15d,水深维持在20cm左右,当水温为22－22．5℃时,96－5－2S不育,结实率为0,而培矮64S可育,结实率为18．5％;当水温为19．5－21．5℃时,96－5－2S与培矮64S均可育,但96－5－2S结实率（2．5％－45．1％）显著或极显著低于培矮64S（50．4％－56．9％）以上结果说明：导致双低两用核不育水稻96－5－2S雄性不育的起点温度与导致其生理不育的下限温度均低,其不育性比培矮64S更稳定,耐寒性比培矮64S更强,即可确保制种安全,又可确保自身繁殖,对加快两系法杂交水稻的发展步伐将起到重要的促进作用。     

Strategy and utilization of a herbicide resistance gene in two-line hybrid rice

Hybrid rice plays an important role in China's aim to improve rice production as it accounts for some 50% of rice planting area but produces about 60% of the total rice grain. However, the existing three-line system used in hybrid rice production has its limitations. The two-line system, which makes use of photoperiod-sensitive genic male-sterile (PGMS) and thermo-sensitive genic male-sterile (TGMS) lines to generate the male-sterile parental line, was developed to overcome some of these limitations. The sterility of the male-sterile line of two-line hybrid rice, however, fluctuates when the temperature-sensitive phase of fertility encounters abnormal low temperatures during hybrid seed production, which induces selfing and decreases the purity of hybrid. We describe here the strategy of utilizing a herbicide resistance gene in two-line hybrid rice to eliminate this fluctuation in the sterility of the P/TGMS lines during hybrid seed production and reports the development of the herbicide resistance restorer line Bar68-1 and its herbicide-resistant early season hybrid rice Xiang125s/Bar68-1. When the restorer line and its derived hybrid are herbicide resistant, the selfed seeds can be removed easily from the hybrid by herbicide spraying. A herbicide resistance gene bar was transferred into a restorer line by particle bombardment. The resulting transgenic restorer line Bar68-1 and its hybrid Xiang125 s/Bar68-1 inherited stable herbicide resistance. The purity of Xiang125s/Bar68-1 was increased by spraying the seed bed with herbicide, which resulted in a significant increase in yield, grain quality, and disease resistance in comparison to the controls in a regional trial.     

Conversion of a rice CMS maintainer into a photo- or thermo-sensitive genetic male sterile line

A maintainer line of 3-line hybrid rice commonly presents a certain genetic distance to a 2-line restorer line, but in many cases, 2-line restorer lines present defects upon recovery of the object cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line of the maintainer line, which impedes the utilization of their heterosis. Here, we report a strategy and an example of converting a maintainer into a photoperiod/temperature-sensitive genic male sterile (P/TGMS) line with an almost identical genetic background, thus maximizing the heterosis. Firstly, through treatment of maintainer line T98B with ⁶⁰C_O-γ irradiation, we identified the TGMS line T98S, which is sterile at higher temperatures and fertile at lower temperatures. Secondly, the T98S line was proven to be identical to T98B with regard to genetic background via an examination of 48 parental polymorphous SSR markers and exhibited excellent blossom traits similar to those of T98B, with an extensive forenoon flowering rate of 75.92% and a high exertion rate of 64.59%. Thirdly, in a combination test, three out of six hybrids from T98S crossed with 2-line restorer lines showed a yield increase of 6.70–15.69% for 2 consecutive years. These results demonstrated that the strategy can generate a new P/TGMS line with strong general combining ability (converted from a maintainer line), thus helping to increase the genetic diversity of male sterile heterotic groups.     

Genetic characterization and fine mapping of a novel thermo-sensitive genic male-sterile gene tms6 in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The application of genetic male sterility in hybrid rice production has great potential to revolutionize hybrid seed production methodology. The two-line breeding system by using thermo-sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) has been discovered and successfully developed as a breeding strategy in rice. One TGMS gene was investigated by a spontaneous rice mutant line, Sokcho-MS, originated from a Korean japonica variety. It was shown that Sokcho-MS is completely sterile at a temperature higher than 27°C and/or lower than 25°C during the development of spikelets, but fertile at the temperature ranging from 25 to 27°C regardless of the levels of day-length. Genetic analysis and molecular mapping based on SSR, STS and EST markers revealed that a single recessive gene locus involved the control of genic male sterility in Sokcho-MS. By using an F₂ mapping population derived from a cross between Sokcho-MS and a fertile indica variety Neda, the new TGMS gene, designated as tms6, was mapped primarily to the long arm of chromosome 5 of Oryza sativa at the interval between markers E60663 (2.0 cM) and RM440 (5.8 cM). Subsequently, tms6 was fine mapped to the interval between markers RM3351 (0.1 cM) and E60663 (1.9 cM). As tms6 appeared to be independent of other mapped TGMS genes in rice, the genetic basis of Sokcho-MS was further discussed.

A biotechnology‐based male‐sterility system for hybrid seed production in tomato

Incorporating male sterility into hybrid seed production reduces its cost and ensures high varietal purity. Despite these advantages, male‐sterile lines have not been widely used to produce tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) hybrid seeds. We describe the development of a biotechnology‐based breeding platform that utilized genic male sterility to produce hybrid seeds. In this platform, we generated a novel male‐sterile tomato line by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9)‐mediated mutagenesis of a stamen‐specific gene SlSTR1 and devised a transgenic maintainer by transforming male‐sterile plants with a fertility‐restoration gene linked to a seedling‐colour gene. Offspring of crosses between a hemizygous maintainer and the homozygous male‐sterile plant segregated into 50% non‐transgenic male‐sterile plants and 50% male‐fertile maintainer plants, which could be easily distinguished by seedling colour. This system has great practical potential for hybrid seed breeding and production as it overcomes the problems intrinsic to other male‐sterility systems and can be easily adapted for a range of tomato cultivars and diverse vegetable crops.     

A new method for hybrid seed production based on cytoplasmic male sterility combined with a lethal gene and a female sterile pollenizer in Capsicum annuum L.

Summary A new improved method for hybrid seed production was successfully tested. This method is based on using a cytoplasmic male sterile line possessing a lethal gene with action that can be easily inhibited and a female sterile pollenizer. The lethal gene ensures 100% purity of the F₁ crop. The female sterile pollenizer provides a permanent abundant flowering with excess of pollen grains that leads to increased hybrid seed production without additional labour expenses. The described scheme is applicable for other crops as well.
