Abstract excerpt
Autotetraploid rice has greater genetic variation and higher vigor than diploid rice, but low pollen fertility is one of the major reasons for low yield of autotetraploid rice. Very little is known about the molecular mechanisms of low pollen fertility of autotetraploid rice. In this study, cytological observations and microarray analysis were used to assess the genetic variation during pollen development in...
