Abstract excerpt
Temperature-sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines are widely used in the breeding of hybrid crops1,2, but by what means temperature as a general environmental factor reverses the fertility of different TGMS lines remains unknown. Here, we identified an Arabidopsis TGMS line named reversible male sterile (rvms) that is fertile at low temperature (17 °C) and encodes a GDSL lipase. Cytological observations and...
