The fertility of a wheat male sterile line 337S was investigated in 4 consecutive years with 18 different sowing dates. Line 337S showed high sterility under both short daylength/low temperature and long daylength/high temperature during ear development. It has 2 time windows to be used as a male sterile line for hybrid seed production. Its fertility rate can be >50% with suitable sowing time; thus, it can be self-maintained as a male sterile line. Line 337S was reciprocally crossed with 7 common wheat varieties and the fertility of their F1, F2, and BC1 hybrids was investigated at different sowing dates. The results showed that recessive nuclear genes controlled male sterility in 337S and no cytoplasmic effect was observed. All common wheat varieties were able to restore its fertility. The male sterility was controlled by a pair of recessive genes under short daylength/low temperature, but was governed by 2 pairs of recessive genes under long daylength/high temperature. This novel male sterile line provides a new tool for using heterosis in wheat.

Field experiment was carried out and one cytoplasmic genetic male sterile line (Smsms) and two local lines were identified as maintainer lines (Fmsms). These two crossed materials namely 3(Shallot*Local) and 4 (Shallot *Local) produced 100 per cent male sterile progeny in full sib and backcross generations. The Shallot * market cultivar produced both male fertile and male sterile segregating progenies. It indicated that the market material is probably determined by dominant and recessive independently acting genes which genetically impure lines. All other crossed materials produced 100 per cent male fertile progeny upon crossing with shallot. So, in backcross generations, the male sterile plants were more when local was used as recurrent parent. Thus, the local cultivar can be used as maintainer line for “Shallot”. The performance of 904 F1 and 905 F1 hybrids over check and better parent was found to be preferably better using CMS system. So, considering the genetics and stability of the male sterility mechanism, further studies are needed towards hybrid variety development in Bangladesh.

Inheritance of fertility restoration was studied in crosses involving ten elite restorer lines of rice viz. BR6839-41-5-1R, BR7013-62-1-1R, BR7011-37-1-2R, BR10R, BR11R, BR12R, BR13R, BR14R, BR15R and BR16R and one male sterile line Jin23A with WA sources of cytoplasmic male sterility. The segregation pattern for pollen fertility of F2 and BC1 populations of crosses involving Jin23A indicated the presence of two independent dominant fertility restoring genes. The mode of action of the two genes varied in different crosses revealing three types of interaction, i.e. epistasis with dominant gene action, epistasis with recessive gene action, and epistasis with incomplete dominance.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v24i1.16997

Male Sterility Gene

Male sterility has been widely used in hybrid seed production in Brassica, but not in B. rapa ssp. chinensis, and genetic models of male sterility for this subspecies are unclear. We discovered a spontaneous mutant in B. rapa ssp. chinensis. A series of progeny tests indicated that male sterility in B. rapa ssp. chinensis follows a three-allele model with BrMsa, BrMsb, and BrMsc. The male sterility locus has been mapped to chromosome A07 in BC1 and F2 populations through genotyping by sequencing. Fine mapping in a total of 1,590 F2 plants narrowed the male sterility gene BrMs to a 400 kb region, with two SNP markers only 0.3 cM from the gene. Comparative gene mapping shows that the Ms gene in B. rapa ssp. pekinensis is different from the BrMs gene of B. rapa ssp. chinensis, despite that both genes are located on chromosome A07. Interestingly, the DNA sequence orthologous to a male sterile gene in Brassica napus, BnRf, is within 400 kb of the BrMs locus. The BnRf orthologs of B. rapa ssp. chinensis were sequenced, and one KASP marker (BrMs_indel) was developed for genotyping based on a 14 bp indel at intron 4. Cosegregation of male sterility and BrMs_indel genotypes in the F2 population indicated that BnRf from B. napus and BrMs from B. rapa are likely to be orthologs. The BrMs_indel marker developed in this study will be useful in marker-assisted selection for the male sterility trait.

Breeding And Genetics

Male sterility was induced in sorghum by exposing plants to a temperature regime of 18/13�C (day-night temperatures) during meiosis in the pollen mother cells. This normally occurs at the time the last (flag) leaf is emerging and elongating. The majority of genotypes examined were rendered completely male sterile by the low temperature regime. However, some genotypes retained a low degree of pollen fertility. The low temperatures appeared to have little, if any, effect on female fertility. The available evidence indicates that it is the night temperature, rather than the mean temperature, which is critical for the induction of pollen sterility. The potential uses of this method of inducing male sterility in plant breeding and genetics programs are briefly discussed.

Underlying Mechanisms

Male sterility is an important agronomic trait for hybrid vigor utilization and hybrid seed production, but its underlying mechanisms remain to be uncovered. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of male sterility in peach using a combined cytology, physiology, and molecular approach. Cytological features of male sterility include deformed microspores and tapetum cells along with absence of pollen grains. Microspores had smaller nucleus at the mononuclear stage and were compressed into belts and subsequently disappeared in the anther cavity, whereas tapetum cells were swollen and vacuolated, with a delayed degradation to flowering time. Male sterile anthers had an ROS burst and lower levels of major antioxidants, which may cause abnormal development of microspores and tapetum, leading to male sterility in peach. In addition, the male sterility appears to be cytoplasmic in peach, which could be due to sequence variation in the mitochondrial genome. Our results are helpful for further investigation of the genetic mechanisms underlying male sterility in peach.

The coupling phase linkages have been synthesized between the gene aw (without anthocyanin) and the male sterile gene ms15 (and its alleles ms26, ms47, and an Israeli source of male sterility). Less than 2 map units separate aw and ms15 on chromosome 2, providing a convenient seedling marker gene to rapidly identify male sterility for both inbred development and hybrid seed production. The seedling marker also provides a convenient marker to rapidly assess hybrid seed purity. Unique features of each of the alleles involved in male sterility and their use in inbred and hybrid development will be described.

Male reproductive development in higher plants is highly sensitive to various stressors, including high temperature (HT). In this study, physiological male-sterile plants of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were established using HT induction. The physiological changes and expression levels of genes mainly related to carbohydrate metabolism and sporopollenin in male-sterile processes were studied by using biological techniques, including iodine–potassium iodide staining, paraffin sectioning, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescent quantitative analysis. Results of paraffin sectioning and SEM revealed that parts of HT male-sterile anthers, including the epidermis and tapetum, were remarkably different from those of normal anthers. The expression levels of TaSUT1, TaSUT2, IVR1 and IVR5 were significantly lower than of normal anthers at the early microspore and trinucleate stages. The RAFTIN1 and TaMS26 genes may contribute to biosynthesis and proper ‘fixation’ of sporopollenin in the development of pollen wall; however, their expression levels were significantly higher at the early tetrad stage and early microspore stage in HT sterile anthers. The recently cloned MS1 gene was expressed at the early tetrad and early microspore stages but not at the trinucleate stage. Moreover, this gene showed extremely significant, high expression in HT sterile anthers compared with normal anthers. These results demonstrate that HT induction of wheat male sterility is probably related to the expression of genes related to carbohydrate metabolism and sporopollenin metabolism. This provides a theoretical basis and technological approach for further studies on the mechanisms of HT induction of male sterility.
