Abstract excerpt
To understand the molecular mechanism of male reproductive development in the model crop rice, we isolated a complete male sterile mutant post-meiotic deficient anther1 (pda1) from a gamma-ray-treated rice mutant library. Genetic analysis revealed that the pda1 mutant was controlled by a recessive nucleus gene. The pda1 mutant anther seemed smaller with white appearance. Histological analysis demonstrated that...
