Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Polima (pol) system of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and its fertility restoration gene Rfp have been used in hybrid breeding in Brassica napus, which has greatly improved the yield of rapeseed. However, the mechanism of the male sterility transition in pol CMS remains to be determined. RESULTS: To investigate the transcriptome during the male sterility transition in pol CMS, a near-isogenic...
